"I had opportunities to coach the national team in the past, but I always turned them down. This is not the kind of work that would bring me pleasure: 1-2 games a month, constantly traveling and watching players, waiting for tournaments... I have a lot of energy to spend now. Maybe one day when I get old and tired, but not today," Goal quoted Mourinho as saying.
