Australia’s Socceroos Give Jose Mourinho The Wink, Ask “How Much?”

Ex-Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is a natty-dread like mess when it comes to where the hell he may coach next year. “The Special One” has more links to possible coaching gigs than De La Hoya’s mesh. Recent rants and rumors place him somewhere in between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. The latest destination linked to Mourinho? Australia–if they had the mula.

“Gosh, if money wasn’t a problem, you’d be straight after Jose Mourinho…You’d try and get the best and Jose Mourinho obviously has been regarded as one of the best managers in the last four or five years at least … But I think from a financial point of view, that would probably be next to impossible.”

Golly gee willicker now wouldn’t it be swell if you picked up that Moooreeenyo character. Gee whiz, if we only had more money. Mourinho was currently spotted hovering over Washington, where he was “scouting” what the MLS was all about, but we highly doubt he’ll be making a trip to the league anytime soon; especially when he finds out coaches like ex-New York Red Bulls coach Bruce Arena hardly ever put up a fight and Mourinho doesn’t thrive without a scuffle. The Socceroos just need to find a Russian oil tycoon to spot them a few mil. They seem to be everywhere these days.
