Mourinho keen on England job

International football Chelsea

comment on the article

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is keen on the England job.

The News of the World says Mourinho WANTS to remain at Stamford Bridge but has become increasingly aware that Blues owner Roman Abramovich will oust him this summer.

And Mourinho has told pals that if he is axed by Chelsea and the England job becomes available he WILL talk to the FA.

A source admitted: "If Jose is out of Chelsea in the summer and there is a vacancy with England he would listen to what the FA have to say."

England boss Steve McClaren's position is under intense pressure. Should England fail to win their European Championship qualifier in Estonia on June 6 then McClaren will be sacked.

If there is a vacancy with england?

If Macca isn't gone Mourinho should still be put in, personally I believe he is idea, Jose can win dull, which is how england play.

I wouldnt like him to be manager. Anyone but him or Wenger will do. I just cant stand either of them! Sorry they just annoy me!

I suppose if they make the team successful then fair enough but is there not a better more likeable manager out there? Im thinking benitez!! Tho i dont want him to leave Liverpool.

Allardyce should have got the job 1st time round. He would have got some passion in the players and not settled for the complacency shown by some over the under achieving England players currently in the squad.

No way Jose!!! If he ever becomes England Manager I will NEVER watch our National team again. He is such an arrogant, overbearing idiot - I turn the TV off whenever he starts spouting. We don't need him - and never will.

This is all media speculation put around by an over zealous agent attempting to force Chelsea into backing him.

Besides, saying 'he'll talk to the FA', doesn't remotely say that he would ever consider taking the job.

He's a good manager, although some of his arrogance recently has been ridiculous. He claimed that he made John Terry and Lampard world class - Sorry mate, John Terry was already there, a couple of years experience have made the difference, not you!!

It would be awesome if he was our manager. Entertainment wise.

Well, why not? I am sure we win atleast the euro championship under him (if not the world cup).
I think we should give up on this 'english' manager obsession. With all due respect to m/s AC, Big Sam, SP and Macca, they haven't won anything big and chances are, they never will. Don't let the blind lead the blind......

Well if we get jose it will just be the same problems, no effort from the players. Constantly we see England underperform and if we want to change that we need to get the premiership sorted out.

Why would we want a manager of proven pedigree & a history of success at the highest level? Let Scotland & Northern Ireland bask in glory & enjoy the Euro 2008 finals while we stay home & watch the tournament on TV.

Who needs Mourinho when we've got McClareno?
