Roma head coach José Mourinho has confirmed he could have taken charge of the Portuguese national team, admitting that he turned down the offer himself.
“I want to thank the president of the Portuguese Football Federation. His words about me make me feel proud. I am also proud that I was one of the possible candidates for the post of head coach of the Portuguese national team. But it was I who decided to refuse to work in the national team. Now I am at Roma, and for me this is the main thing, ”La Gazzetta dello Sport quotes Mourinho.
