Jose Mourinho has sensationally revealed he was once offered the chance to become England manager, but turned the role down while he focussed on club football.

The 61-year-old is currently out of management after departing his position as Roma head coach in January with the club's board opting for a change in the dugout.

Having already enjoyed serial success at Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Tottenham and Roma, Mourinho is now being tipped for a potential move into international management.
