Jose for the Big Job?
Every Football returns after a long span of no-posts and is back with a big news regarding the biggest job.
Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been shortlisted among few others by the FA, for finding the right man to be the next England manager. It is considered as the biggest job, with a pay-package of around $2million a year plus other benefits. Others in the run include former Real Madrid man Fabio Capello, Italy's Marcello Lippi, West Ham United's Curbishly, Martin O'Neill of Aston Villa and the German coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
The need for a new manager arose when Steve Mclaren was sacked by the FA, after failing to qualify for Euro 2008. It is the first time since 1994 that England have failed to qualify for a major tournament. Mourinho, who had an extreamly successful two-year stay at Chelsea Football Club, has impressed the FA and is being considered as the next choice by many. In the beginning, Jose had no intension to manage England as he had been reported to have said that managing a country other than his own would be unfair. But much has changed since then and recent reports indicate that he has not ruled himself out of the run. "Why not?" he told Sky-Sports News reporter, "Being England manager is a big job and a big job is what I want."
Talks still continue and speculations are also being made, but the fans would have to hang on to their seats much longer to find out the FA's final decision as it has said that is in no hurry.
