Jose Mourinho Rejects China Move After Meeting With Guangzhou Evergrande Owner

Jose Mourinho met with China's richest man, Hui Ka Yan, to discuss taking over Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Evergrande or perhaps the Chinese national team, but he has turned down the offers.

The Portuguese tactician has been available since leaving Manchester United in December 2018 and he has previously suggested a transition to international management could be an option in the future.

The Guardian state that Mourinho met with Hui, who owns the Evergrande Group, to discuss a potential move to China, either as a club manager or with the international team. However, he rejected the opportunity as he did not want to upset his family by moving them to China.
