“For me, Portugal, France and England are the three strongest teams. There may be surprises, but, looking at the quality of the players, they have everything to win,” said the coach.
The 61-year-old coach, who has been without a club since leaving command of Italian side Roma in January, confessed to having been invited to guide the national team and did not rule out the possibility.
“I had the opportunity to coach the national team, and it was a very real possibility. But now, we are at the Euros with a coach who has done a great job, with a great generation of players and I want everything to go very well, which is to win . Winning, he will continue and go until the next World Cup. If it has to happen, it will happen one day”, said José Mourinho.
The coach, who today attended the 40th anniversary celebrations of the Rio Ave team, led by his father Félix Mourinho, having reached the final of the Portuguese Cup for the first time, agreed to comment on the alleged interest of English clubs in the coach of the Sporting, Rúben Amorim.
“I like him as a person and a coach. I think he has what it takes to coach in any league and club. But he’s in a good league and a big club. It’s his decision and that of the clubs that want him. What’s clear is that I like the person and the coach”, he stated.
