Revelation from Spain: Mourinho rejected Portugal’s offer before returning to Real Madrid

José Mourinho has said “no” to a major offer to sit once again on the Real Madrid bench. According to reports from Spain, he rejected the Portugal national team’s offer before taking charge of “Los Blancos.”

The news was broken by As, which reveals that the Portuguese Football Federation had contacted the “Special One” before the World Cup held in the USA, Canada and Mexico. Mourinho’s answer was clear.

The coach said he had decided to honor the word he had given his friend Florentino Pérez, the president of Real Madrid. And so it happened. The Spanish daily also reports that the Portuguese Federation was ready to accept a dual role for Mourinho — coaching the Portuguese national team and Real at the same time.
