Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho 'not close' to Portugal job

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has suggested he has no plans to coach Portugal in the immediate future.

Mourinho has previously said that he might look to take charge of his country once he becomes tired of club football.

However, he told GQ Magazine: "I am not close at all. I think being the coach of a club is my job, because I need to play matches every week and train every day.

"I would say I am even further away from being tired now than I was a few years ago."

Portugal will be managed by Fernando Santos this summer as they look for World Cup success.

With Cristiano Ronaldo leading the team, Mourinho said he thinks his country can challenge in Russia.
