Jose Mourinho has been without a team since the beginning of the year after being sacked by Roma. The Portuguese coach expressed his regret over rejecting the Portuguese option in an interview with EA Sports Korea's YouTube channel.
The “Special One” was delivered without a filter. Behind his shell, Jose Mourinho expressed his regret in an interview with the Korean YouTube channel EA Sports. “I already had two chances to coach Portugal. But it was not the right time for me. The last time I felt unacceptable, because I decided to stay in Roma. I think I made a mistake,” said the former Chelsea manager.
However, José Mourinho does not lose hope of coaching his team one day: “I think that one day, he will present himself for the third time, and at that time, I will accept.” The regret is even greater for the Portuguese coach because the latter admits that Portugal has become one of the “best five” teams in the world.
Mourinho's beautiful memories
If the “note” admits to regretting his choice to stay in Rome instead of signing his choice, he nevertheless has good memories. “The most difficult achievement? The two European finals with Roma,” explained Jose Mourinho, who sometimes considers himself to be putting himself at risk.
“Even if it’s not the strongest club ever, I accept the challenge,” Mourinho insists. Upon his arrival at Roma in 2021, the “Special One” won the European Conference League in his first year, giving way to euphoria. It was the first European title for the Italian club founded in 1927. Gradually, the results and the game no longer lived up to expectations. Then Jose Mourinho leaves after two and a half years. Roma is ninth in Serie A and eliminated from the Coppa Italia.
Today, the former Real Madrid coach remains without a bench since his departure from Roma. However, rumors emerged shortly after his dismissal. For a period announced in Naples, then in Saudi Arabia or even on the bench in Brazil, José Mourinho ultimately remained somewhat reserved while waiting for a call from the president of the Portuguese Federation.
