luckyluke 2 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Mourinho drops England job hint Chelsea boss Mourinho says he feels at home in London Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has hinted he could manage England in the future. Mourinho has already stated he is keen to manage his native Portugal but has not ruled out coaching England. He told Time Out magazine his five-year Chelsea deal would help him get a feel for the England job currently held by Swede Sven Goran-Eriksson. But he added: "At the moment the England job is for Sven, who is a top professional and who also does it with a bit of England in his heart." Mourinho has made a huge impact in English football and last season led Chelsea to the top-flight title for the first time in 50 years. He said: "It's true that part of me feels like an Englishman now. If I stay here for the next five years, the length of my contract, I will feel even more English. "With six years of loving London and England I'll have something of England and the people in my heart so I could do (the job) in a professional way." But the charismatic Portuguese-born Blues boss also stated that he felt the job was best suited to an Englishman. "I still think it's really for an English person," he added.

MattM4 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 My personal view is that national sides should not be allowed to apoint foreign managers. It should work the same way as for players. The whole management people and staff of the England team should be english. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, don't you think not allowing any foreign coaches would be highly detrimental to the development of nations who are less established in footballing terms?

Anyway rather touchy subject. I just think if you haven't got a national coach good enough then tough, lol. That's part of the game, and I include England in this and how the FA struggled to find anyone in 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I personally feel there shouldn't be a "rule" as such regarding the nationality of National team managers, just that England should ban anyone from Sweden getting the job.

And what if they are under established, apoint a foreign genius manager and become world beaters? should they be stripped of their coach? a touchy subject as I said.

You jump 10 places up the rankings but have to sack your coach as a result? Can't see it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakehips 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Don't panic. Mourinho has just distanced himself from those comments about managing England - I hoped he would 'caus it's only a week, or so, where he said he wouldn't be interested in it! Said he would like to manage Portugal later in his career, not England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 For me. the players should be born in the country they play for, the only exception being if both parents were from another country and then you could play for either your country of birth or the country of your parents. The managers and coaches can come from where the hell you like. Mourinho is about the best in the business, if he wanted to take on the poisoned chalice that is England then i'd love it, but i think he'll be too intelligent to really want it!
