Brazil to rival Portugal in pursuit of Jose Mourinho as new national team boss

Brazil is apparently competing with Portugal to recruit Jose Mourinho, a reflection of how highly sought-after he is on the international stage.

The 59-year-old was hired by Serie A team Roma in 2021 after signing a three-year deal.

According to reports, Mourinho may be more content in the Italian city due to the club's financial constraints and the attitudes of the players.

TOP STORY – BRAZIL TO MAKE SHOCK MOVE FOR MOURINHO

Brazil will make a sensational swoop to make Jose Mourinho their new national team boss to replace the departed Tite, according to la Repubblica.

An intermediary of Brazil's national setup will fly into Italy to meet up with the Roma head coach – who has also been linked to the Portugal job – and begin negotiations face-to-face.

Brazil had been linked with Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, having reportedly turned to super agent Jorge Mendes to aid their pursuit of a new head coach.
