Jose Mourinho confirmed that he had a job offer on the table to become the England manager, but he turned it down. The former Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester United boss is currently out of work after being sacked by Roma and has explained his stance on returning to management in an interview with Rio Ferdinand.
In a clip teased on Ferdinand’s social media, Mourinho explained that he “could have” coached England in the past. “I had it there on the table,” he said, referring to a job contract. “I didn’t (sign) because I gave everything, I gave my heart. I gave even options that could be considered not very clever by the professional point of view.”
