José Mourinho, the coach of AS Roma, reacted to rumors sending him to the bench of the Brazilian selection.

A Portuguese coach on the Brazil bench? The idea has something to seduce, especially when it concerns José Mourinho, 60 years old, currently stationed at AS Roma. The person concerned responded to rumors citing him as a possible next coach of Marquinhos, Neymar and company.

I don’t know if this is true or not for Brazil, because they haven’t spoken to me directlyconfided Mourinho on Wednesday evening at a press conference after the Giallorossi’s victory in the Italian Cup against Cremonese (2-1). I told my agent that until the club had decided whether I would stay or not, I didn’t want to speak to anyone else. »

José Mourinho’s contract with the Italian club will end on June 30. “ I trust the owners of AS Roma 100%. I always informed them, including when Portugal called me… and when the Saudi club called me last summer “, he continued to journalists.

The selection of Brazil had primarily targeted the Italian Carlo Ancelotti, to succeed Fernando Diniz, before the Real Madrid coach extended his contract until 2026.
