Jose Mourinho is arguably the best available manager on the market, and somehow he is still unemployed. That, however, might have to do with the fact that Mourinho is considering to move from club football in favor of taking a national team.

Mourinho recently had a chat with Eleven Sports in which he said that he is looking for new challenges and that he would like to compete at the World Cup and the European Championships.

“I want to compete in new competitions” – said Mourinho. “I think about the World Cup and the European Championships. For a long time I have had the desire to try out such an adventure. Right now, I see myself more at a national team than with a new club.”

While the first team that comes to mind is Portugal, Mourinho isn’t convinced that his native country would be a good choice.

“Is Portugal the right team for me? Not necessarily.” – he added.

Jose Mourinho is out of work since being sacked by Manchester United back in December. Over the course of his career, Mourinho also coached Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid among other teams, winning national competitions with each of them. He also won the UEFA Champions League with Chelsea and Inter.

Gunner's favorite movies are Pulp Fiction, Iron Man (just the first one), and every James Bond film ever made. He's learning TV and cinema and hoping to always enjoy movies as he does now.
