José Mourinho has few lands left to conquer. In fact, he’s won it everything, with eight league crowns, five European trophies, and eight major domestic cups across four countries. That is why a suggestion that he may take over as coach of the Brazilian national team is so intriguing.
Consider this. The One and Only. The Seleço’s yellow and blue. The world’s most ecstatic fanbase. Joelinton. It’s a formidable combination that would undoubtedly provide some much-needed star power to the international game’s sidelines.

“I don’t know if it’s true or not about Brazil, because they did not speak directly to me,” said Mourinho after Roma’s 2-1 win over Cremonese on Wednesday night. “I told my agent that until the club has decided if I am staying or not, I don’t want to know or talk to anyone else.”
The chat has been fuelled by reports skysport that Roma are in the hunt for a new manager as well as speculation that Mourinho’s next logical step would be the international arena. He’s already had offers to take charge of his native Portugal as well as Saudi Arabia but for now is staying put.
That will be good news for United fans who must be craving some stability following this period of uncertainty. But chaos is a ladder and with new owners at the top table, a wish-list has been drawn up to help revive the once dynastic force. A pair of 27-year-old forwards in Timo Werner from RB Leipzig as well Stuttgart’s Serhou Guirassy have been contacted, as have the comparative veterans of Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Thomas Müller – both 34 and both from Bayern Munich.
