Jose Mourinho makes England manager claim

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has claimed he has within 'hours' of becoming the coach of England's national team.

In an interview with French sports paper lEquipe, Mourinho stated: I was hours away I almost signed up for the England national team.

But at the last minute I began thinking, I am going to coach a national side, there will be one match a month and the rest of the time I will be in my office or overseeing matches. And then to have to wait until the summer to compete in a European Championship or a World Cup? No, it wasn't for me."

Football tickets are available now.
