Mourinho 'rules out' England post

[JFolan]

Former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho does not want to succeed Steve McClaren as England manager, BBC Sport understands.
Mourinho, 44, has been out of football since leaving Stamford Bridge in September but is believed to be waiting for a club rather than a national post.




Unlucky England :)

I knew he wouldnt go lol he dosnt have anything to work with really at england.

[Minstrels]

That kind of sucks...

[JFolan]

you should of seen it coming lol

[Browney]

Seen it coming? How so? And "hasn't got anything to work with"? Are you mad? You just can't see see past the "young and upcoming" team Scotland supposedly have. There's plenty of talent un-tapped into in the england squad.

u think he could go longer thn 5 days with a full team of english players -.- he would go mental he need atleast 2 Portuguese players in his team lol

Fairly surprised actually, a fair amount of the guy at Chelsea who were unhappy with him being told to go are England players so he'd have got on well there, and I think he's basically respected by everyone.

Mourhino hasnt directly said this him self. The statement was made by someone who knows Mourhino.

he said he wants to manage a club, not country

because he likes close relationship with players who you see alot, where as i country managment you don't.

of whats left i want capello to get it.

[JFolan]

He would only manage Portugal

Saw an article today on BBC news somewhere (cba looking it up now) which said he claimed he wasn't going to say if he was interested in the position or not unless he was approached about it, but also made it fairly clear that he likely was into the idea.
