Brazil want to double Portugal to afford José Mourinho

Still under contract with AS Roma until 2024, Portuguese coach José Mourinho is more than ever mentioned away from Italy. Indeed, if the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) continues to insist on bringing home the Special One in order to take over from Fernando Santos at the head of the Portuguese selection, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) wants to burn priority to his Portuguese-speaking friends and offer a good proposal to José Mourinho with the aim of healing the ills of a disappointing Qatari World Cup with this elimination in the quarter-finals against Croatia.

“Any coach wants to work with the best clubs and the best selections. The Brazilian team is obviously a successful and talented team. Whatever the generation, talent always appears. But I must admit that it must be difficult. There is a coach inside every Brazilian, even among journalists. I think it must be a complicated country to work in, but also very exciting. As I have always had difficult positions, with a high level of requirement, I might be tempted, yes. But I recognize that the Brazilian national team is often aimed at a Brazilian coach”had declared the current coach of the Giallorossi in a 2017 interview for ESPN Brazilwhen he was at the head of the English club Manchester United.
