The surprise option that the Portuguese found, romapress.net reports, is Jose Mourinho, the current coach of “Roma”.

Jose Mourinho is the favorite for the position of head coach of the Portuguese national team

Initially, it was about taking over the model from the Spanish national team, which appointed a youth coach as a coach.

Rui Jorge currently plays for Portugal’s youth team and his name is being considered as a replacement for Fernando Santos.

At the same time, Portuguese officials are also thinking about Jose Mourinho, an experienced coach, titled and, according to many, the most suitable for the position of selector.

In addition, the members of the Portuguese Football Federation will agree that Jose Mourinho should train the Portuguese national team and at the same time remain the coach of Roma.

Whether “Special” will really accept the offer from the Portuguese national team remains to be seen.
