X (formerly Twitter) page Transfer News Live, via CNN Portugal, has reported that Jose Mourinho is being lined up for the Portuguese national team manager job, taking over from the current team boss, Roberto Martinez.
If Mourinho took up the job, he would reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he managed at the height of his powers from 2010 to 2013 at Real Madrid. While the two did have some tension from their time working together, that won’t likely be a problem.
