Bombshell! Mourinho is the leading candidate for Portugal's bench

José Mourinho is the current trainer of the Rome in the Series To of Italy, but in spite of this is the strongest name to be the new trainer of the Selection of Portugal after the failure in Qatar 2022. The lusos left home in quarter-finals, after falling in front of Morocco 1-0, and Fernando Santos have a foot and half in the ramp of exit.

Although there is not an official announcement on the exit of the technician luso, the Portuguese press has aimed that this would give to know, to more take, before it finalise the year. In front of this more than likely possibility, the newspaper 'To Ball' has aimed that the main aim of the Portuguese Federation of Football (FPF) would be Mourinho.

The information aims that the idea of the FPF is that, for now, can work to the pair of both teams, as it has sucedido in other exceptional cases. Nevertheless, this will depend exclusively of if the Italian team accepts said proposal, since logically it would distract to 'Mou' of his responsibilities in the Italian team, where also follows with life in the Europe League.

The another option, and the most viable, would be that the FPF did a formal proposal to Mourinho with the purpose to pay his exit of the 'Wolf', something that seems little likely in the middle of the season, but that already sucedió with Unai Emery and the Aston Villa does a pair of months. The technician is of the best of the history of his country and a possible meeting with his selection has been always a possibility

There is time to negotiate

The team luso has to initiate the next years the eliminatory for the Eurocopa Germany 2024, specifically in the month of March. By this, the FPF would have at least two months to be able to negotiate a possible signing of Mourinho, the one who right now is far to head to a team elite of Europe. In the case that the trainer wanted to first finish the season, the good news for Portugal is that in first instance will measure with Liechtenstein and Luxembourg, rival of lower level and of where could take out the six points.
