I'd now turn down Portugal- Mourinho

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says he'd turn down the Portugal job if they came calling.

Mourinho admits he once accepted a part-time role as national team coach, but was not allowed to take it.

He told BT Sport: "They tried to take me lots of times and was only one time I accepted because it was a part-time job.

"I wanted to do the same time club and national team, and at the time I wanted to accept. But my president at the time decided not to let me do the national team job.

"After that I reflected and I have to agree it was not possible to do both jobs at the same time. It's not even ethical for a manager to have two jobs with so many managers without one job, it's not acceptable.
