Mourinho to Portugal?

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho‘s precarious position at Manchester United is being monitored by the Portuguese Football Federation, according to the Sun.

The United boss is third favourite in the Premier League sack race after firing an angry broadside at his Old Trafford bosses for a lack of new signings.

And his growing frustration has alerted PFF chiefs back in his homeland that the most successful manager Portugal has ever produced may soon be back on the job market.

Mourinho, 55, has a stated ambition of one day coaching his national team.

And while current Portugal boss Fernando Santos was given a vote of confidence after his reigning European champions crashed out of the World Cup, if the Special One becomes available there will be pressure for that stance to change.
