Jose Mourinho has sensationally quit as manager of Chelsea after his team's indifferent start to the season.

Chelsea Football Club and Jose Mourinho have agreed to part company today by mutual consent," the English team said early on Thursday on its Web site.

Chelsea have made an stuttering start to the English Premier League season, lying in fifth place, and play champions Manchester United on Sunday.

Further disappointment has followed in the European Champions League with a 1-1 home draw against Norwegian side Rosenborg in their opening group match on Tuesday in what turned out to be Mourinho's last match in charge.

The BBC reported that Israeli Avram Grant would take charge at Stamford Bridge, assisted by current number two Steve Clarke.

Grant, who is currently director of football at Chelsea, is a close friend of Russian billionaire owner Roman Abramovich whose relationship with Mourinho has become increasingly fractious.

Mourinho led the club to consecutive Premier League titles in 2005 and 2006, and also won both the English FA Cup and the League Cup during his tenure.

But they have twice fallen at the semifinals in pursuit of the Champions League and the draw against unheralded Rosenborg was a major disappointment.

Portuguese Mourinho arrived at Chelsea in 2004 having led Porto to the Champions League crown and backed by Abramovich's millions brought them immediate success in domestic competition.

But last season Manchester United regained the Premier League title and Mourinho became increasingly outspoken about the lack of funds he was receiving to recruit new players.

Injuries to key players Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard have undermined Chelsea's early campaign and they have secured three wins, two draws and a defeat in their opening six matches in the Premier League.

Former Chelsea captain Ray Wilkins believes the club could struggle following Mourinho's departure.

"I'm absolutely astounded at what's happened," he told Sky Sports News. "I don't really see the sense in it to be honest, let's hope they've got someone lined up."

The world is waking up to the news that Jose Mourinho, the self-proclaimed Special One, has left Chelsea.

As revealed by The Telegraph last night, the relationship between coach and owner had become untenable and all we needed was confirmation.

That arrived this morning with the club releasing a statement stating: "Chelsea Football Club and Jose Mourinho have agreed to part company today (Thursday) by mutual consent."

However, even before Chelsea came forward, every paper had already splashed the departure of Mourinho across the back pages.

According to The Sun, a row with John Terry signalled the inevitable. (TERRY RUCK SPELT END)

We are told by the paper that Mourinho had become increasingly frustrated by Terry's recent performances and raised the issue with the medical department.

When Terry found out about this 'he reacted furiously', and the club's directors saw this as proof the coach was 'losing the dressing room'.

Mourinho clearly knew his time was up, and the Daily Mail informs us that five senior players - Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, John Terry, Petr Cech and Ricardo Carvalho - received text messages from him telling them he was leaving. (JOSE: IT'S ALL OVER)

Apparently, Sevilla coach Juande Ramos has already been linked with the job, as has Didier Deschamps.

Away from the Mourinho circus and The Sun reveals that Middlesbrough striker Tuncay has launched an attack on the club and manager Gareth Southgate, which is likely to signal a swift exit for the Turkish international.

The player is quoted as saying: "I was a king at Fenerbahce, captain of the side and a favourite of the fans. Now in the Premier League, I'm a substitute."

And finally, Sir Alex Ferguson is set to raid Sporting Lisbon once again, according to the Mirror.

Having already signed Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani, the Man Utd manager has now targeted 17-year-old Nigerian Rabiu Ibrahim.

مورینیو چلسی را ترک می کند


موقعیت ژوزه مورینیو موضوع گمانه های زیادی در یک سال گذشته بود
مقام های باشگاه چلسی می گویند ژوزه مورینیو مربی این تیم طی توافقی دوجانبه این تیم را ترک کرده است.
این خبر تنها 24 ساعت پس از نتیجه مایوس کننده این تیم در برابر روزنبرگ در جام قهرمانی باشگاه های اروپا اعلام می شود.

مورینیو که پرتغالی است در تابستان 2004 به چلسی ملحق شد و در دو فصل اول پس از مربیگری، این تیم را به عنوان قهرمانی لیگ برتر باشگاه های انگلستان رهنمون شد.

فصل گذشته چلسی پس از منچستر یونایتد به نائب قهرمانی رسید اما در جام حذفی انگلستان و جام کارلینگ قهرمان شد، مقامی که در سال 2005 نیز کسب کرده بود.

وی در سال های 2005 و 2006 به خاطر موفقیت های خود بهترین مربی سال لیگ برتر شناخته شده بود.

با این حال این مربی و تیمش در این سال ها به جام قهرمانی باشگاه های اروپا دست نیافتند و فصل جاری این بازی ها نیز با نتیجه مساوی یک بر یک مقابل تیم نروژی روزنبرگ برابر تنها 25 هزار تماشاگر آغاز شد.

این سومین بازی پیاپی بدون برد چلسی پس از شکست دو بر هیچ مقابل آستون ویلا و تساوی بدون گل با بلکبرن در لیگ برتر بود.

این نتایج چلسی را در رده پنجم جدول، دو امتیاز عقب تر از آرسنال، قرار داده است. این تیم روز یکشنبه برای دیدار به خانه منچستر یونایتد خواهد رفت.

یکی از رکوردهای منحصر به فرد مورینیو این بود که هرگز هیچ بازی ای را در خانه خود، استامفورد بریج، واگذار نکرد.

قرارداد 2005 او با چلسی پنج ساله بود اما از یک سال قبل شایعاتی قوی در مورد ترک چلسی در پایان فصل وجود داشت.

Jose Mourinho is likely to be far from Old Trafford on Sunday but the former Chelsea manager will still cast a long shadow over his former club's showdown with Manchester United.

Mourinho's dramatic departure has hardly sunk in and already the London club have to regroup for a match they cannot afford to lose.

If Chelsea are beaten by Sir Alex Ferguson's side and Arsenal defeat Derby on Saturday, the Blues will enter the post-Mourinho era five points behind the league leaders.


A trip to the Premier League champions would be a daunting start for any new manager, but the circumstances of Mourinho's departure and Avram Grant's promotion as his successor puts the Israeli coach firmly in the spotlight.

Roman Abramovich's decision to appoint his friend has only added to the feeling that Mourinho's days were numbered from the moment Grant arrived as director of football in the close season.

So Grant has plenty to prove. The fans will wonder whether this anonymous 52-year-old has the ability to maintain Chelsea's position as one of the English's game pre-eminent forces.

But a bigger challenge could await the former Portsmouth director of football in the visitors' changing room at Old Trafford.

Several of Chelsea's players, with Didier Drogba among them, were in tears when Mourinho said his farewells at the club's training ground on Thursday morning.

Mourinho's charisma and proven track record inspired the likes of Drogba, John Terry and Frank Lampard to reach new heights and they are likely to wonder what Grant can add to their games.

If the players feel Mourinho has been harshly treated it must be questionably whether they will feel like putting their bodies on the line for Grant. Even if they do well, it will be interpreted as a salute to Mourinho rather than anything to do with Grant.

One thing is certain, Ferguson will be determined to take advantage of Chelsea's moment of weakness.

The Scot relished his duels with Mourinho, describing the Portuguese as the "new gunslinger in town", but he will be secretly delighted to see Chelsea in disarray.

Chelsea's problems run deeper than their three-match run without a win, but United's captain Ryan Giggs insists form goes out of the window in a situation like this.

"I don't think you can take form into account whenever the big teams play each other," Giggs said.

"They have a lot of special players. It has been close between us over the past few years. It always is and it will be again."

While Chelsea face an uncertain future, their London rivals Arsenal are enjoying a surprising renaissance.

Arsene Wenger's side go into the home clash against Derby top of the table for the first time since November 2004.

The Gunners have won four of their first five league matches and built on that feelgood factor by demolishing Seville in the Champions League.

After two years without silverware and the close-season departure of Thierry Henry, Arsenal were widely written off as also-rans this season.

But Wenger has infused his young side with the confidence to ignore the doom merchants and, inspired by the brilliant form of Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas, they are currently playing the most eye-catching football in Europe.

With everything looking so easy, Arsenal must avoid falling prey to over-confidence.

Robin van Persie is cautioning patience. "I know what this team is capable of," he said. "But I don't think we have to be the champions this year.

"Let's say for example within three years we have to win a few trophies. That is a better idea, a bit more realistic."

Big-spending English football club Chelsea was left reeling Thursday by the shock departure of star coach Jose Mourinho, who quit after a string of clashes with Russian owner Roman Abramovich.

Former Israel coach Avram Grant, previously the director of football at Stamford Bridge, was put in charge along with Mourinho's former assistant Steve Clarke.

It was not clear if Grant, a close friend of Chelsea's Russian owner Roman Abramovich, will be manager on a long-term basis, but the Israeli will be in charge when Chelsea face champions Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.


The 51-year-old's promotion came hours after Mourinho's trophy-laden three-year reign at Stamford Bridge ended with the announcement that he was leaving the club "by mutual consent."

Mourinho's exit stunned Chelsea fans and several supporters' groups called on members to go to the west London ground to show "support and appreciation" to Mourinho, who managed to hammer out a settlement with the club late on Thursday.

Fans gathered at Stamford Bridge on Thursday evening and chanted "bring back the special one," while unfurling a banner reading "Mourinho: simply the best."

For his part, Mourinho said he was "proud" of his work at Chelsea, and described his time at the club as "a beautiful and rich period" of his career.

"I want to thank all Chelsea FC supporters for what I believe is a never-ending love story," Mourinho said in a statement published on Chelsea's website.

"I wish great success to the club, a club that will be forever connected to me for some historical moments. I wish the players happiness in football and in their family life."

The club added in a separate statement that it had reached "agreement on all contractual arrangements" with Mourinho, who had three years remaining on his five-million-pounds-a-year contract. Details of the settlement were not included in the statement.

The self-described "special one" paid a brief visit to the club's state-of-the-art training complex to the west of London on Thursday morning to say his goodbyes to the players he guided to five trophies in three seasons, before driving away for the last time.

Mourinho's time in charge ended in the early hours of Thursday morning, his fractious relationship with Abramovich having finally reached breaking point over the manager's failure to deliver the kind of flamboyant football craved by the Russian billionaire.

Manchester United's stylish reclamation of the Premier League title last season increased Abramovich's disillusionment with Mourinho's pragmatic approach and Tuesday's disappointing 1-1 Champions League draw with Norwegian side Rosenberg -- watched by fewer than 25,000 fans -- proved to be the final straw.

In a statement following news of Mourinho's departure, Chelsea said: "The key phrase here is that there was mutual agreement. Jose did not resign and he was not sacked.

"What is clear, though, is we had all reached a point where the relationship between the club and Jose had broken down.

"The reason the decision has been taken is that we believed the breakdown started to impact on the performance of the team and recent results supported this view.

"We did not want this to continue or affect the club further."

With hindsight, Mourinho's pre-match comments about the need to buy the best eggs to make the best omelette -- a clear dig at Abramovich's transfer policy -- were a clear signal that simmering tensions behind the scenes were about to boil over.

Mourinho came close to being ousted last season when Abramovich failed in an attempt to persuade former Germany coach Jurgen Klinsmann to succeed the Portuguese.

Although Grant has been put in the hot-seat now, a fresh move to lure Klinsmann, who is based in California, back to Europe cannot be ruled out.

Russia manager Guus Hiddink, who knows Abramovich well, and the former Monaco and Juventus boss Didier Deschamps, who briefly played for Chelsea towards the end of his illustrious career, have also been touted as possible long-term successors to Mourinho.

Grant's introduction to the backroom staff, initially resisted by Mourinho, had apparently been accepted by the Portuguese as part of a summer truce between him and the club owner.

But it now appears that tensions over Abramovich's desire to interfere in team affairs had continued to fester, culminating in a terse statement posted on the club's website overnight, followed by a longer one later Thursday.

Grant was recruited from Portsmouth partly with the aim of improving the performances of Andriy Shevchenko, whose presence in the Chelsea squad was a running sore in the the relationship between Abramovich and Mourinho.

Jose Mourinho, who left Chelsea by mutual consent earlier this week, is keen to coach another English club later in his career.

Asked if he wanted to work in England again, he told Sky Sports on Friday: "Yes, for sure. I don't want it for my next step, I don't want to close the Chelsea door and open another door.

"My next step will be another country. I am 44 and I hope I have many years of management ahead and I love English football. It is an unbelievable football country."

Mourinho will not go back to his native Portugal just yet either.

"I don't want the Portuguese national team," he said. "I want to make that very, very clear.

"I want Portugal to succeed, I want them to work calmly and I don't want (manager Luiz Felipe) Scolari to have to look behind him thinking I'm waiting."

Mourinho said there were "fractures" behind the scenes at Chelsea.

"The whole club was not a real block," he said. "There were some fractures.

"Maybe everybody had a responsibility (towards that) but I think this (departure) was the best solution."

Mourinho confirmed he had left by mutual consent.

"I was not sacked and I didn't close the door," he said. "It is fair to say we found the correct words, mutual agreement is the correct English.

"I am not saying I am happy (about it but)....I am happy I stopped my work at Chelsea. When people don't want to sack you and when the manager doesn't want to close the door you can go on and on and on but I think this was the best situation."

Mourinho would not go into detail about his exit.

"I am a man of war during competition but I am a man of peace outside competition," he said.

"I don't want to air any dirty linen in public."

When told that many Chelsea supporters had cried over his exit, Mourinho said he too had been upset.

"I was crying too," he said. "Everything I do is with a lot of passion and emotion, everything is round the group ethic."

Mourinho, who spent three years at Chelsea, winning two Premier League titles, two League Cups and an FA Cup without losing a home league game, earlier told Portuguese television it was important he and the club were now content.

"I don't want the supporters to chant my name if they get a bad result in the future. I don't want players to threaten to leave because I have left. I don't want demonstrations of any sort," he said.

Chelsea appointed Israeli Avram Grant, who is close to Abramovich and had been shadowing Mourinho as director of football since July, to succeed the Portuguese.

His first assignment will be the high-profile Premier League game at champions Manchester United on Sunday.

خوزه مورينيو"اعتراف كرد كه*ترك باشگاه*فوتبال چلسي انگليس، دردناك*ترين تجربه زندگي*اش بوده است.

به گزارش خبرگزاري فرانسه از لندن، وي روز پنجشنبه به دليل اختلاف با "رومن آبراموويچ" مالك روس باشگاه چلسي ، استمفوردبريج را ترك كرد.

اين مربي پرتغالي طي سه سال حضور خود در اين تيم ، آن را به يكي از قدرت*هاي مطلق ليگ برتر انگليس تبديل كرد.

اگرچه مورينيو اعتراف كرده كه اختلاف با آبراموويچ هيچ راهي براي ادامه حضور در چلسي باقي نگذاشته بود،اما چهار روز بعد از رفتن از اين تيم، به سختي مي*تواند احساساتش را كنترل كند.

وي به "نيوز آو دورلد" گفت: ما مدتي بود كه بر سر برخي از مسائل اختلاف داشتيم. بنابر اين حتي اگر مقابل بلكبرن پيروز مي*شديم. هم در مسابقه بعدي شكست مي*خورديم يا تساوي مي*كرديم.هفته بعد از آن باز همان مشكلات وجود داشت. اين دردناك*ترين تجربه زندگي من است. باور كنيد كه بدترين لحظه زندگي من در هر زمان و در هر باشگاهي است. اين مسئله بيشتر از هر چيز ديگري مرا رنج مي*دهد.

گفته مي*شود مورينيو بيشتر از اينكه "جان تري" كاپيتان چلسي در رفتن او نقش داشته است، ناراحت است.

بر اساس گزارش*هاي منتشره، تري پس از اينكه مورينيو از كادر فني خواسته بود دلايل عملكرد ضعيف اين مدافع انگليسي را در اين فصل بگويند، با وي بحث كرده بود.

آبراموويچ نيز پيش ازاين اختلافاتي را بر سر "اندري شوچنكو" با مورينيو داشت و پس از انتشار خبر بحث اين مربي با تري ، به نظر رسيد كه ديگر همه چيز تمام شده است.

سپس "آورام گرانت" مربي اهل رژيم صهيونيستي كه روابط نزديكي هم با آبراموويچ داشت،جانشين وي شد اما مورينيو اهميتي به شايعات در مورد اينكه گرانت با گزارش*هايي كه عليه وي به آبراموويچ داده رفتن او را تسريع كرده است، نمي*دهد.

گرانت كه هرگزخارج از خاك رژيم صهيونيستي مربيگري نكرده است، به اصرار آبراموويچ در فصل گذشته به عنوان مدير باشگاه انتخاب شد و اكنون جانشين مورينيو شده است.

مورينيو در اين*باره گفت: اهميتي نمي*دهم كه از پشت به من ضربه زده*اند.

مهم نيست كه اين خبرها حقيقت داشته باشد. نمي*خواهم زمان و انرژي خود را به خاطر اين چيزها هدر بدهم. ديگر به اتفاقاتي كه در چلسي مي*افتد اهميت نمي*دهم. مهم نيست چه كسي را مي*خرند، چه كسي را مي*فروشند و سرمربي كيست.

وي كه تاكنون دو پيشنهاد مربيگري از جمله از تاتنهام داشته است، تصميم دارد به زودي به عرصه مربيگري باز گردد.

با وجود اين مورينيو با توجه به شرط باشگاه چلسي كه وي نبايد تا فصل آينده در يكي از باشگاه*هاي مطرح ليگ برتر انگليس حضور داشته باشد، در اين ليگ مشغول نخواهد شد بنابراين احتمالا مقصد بعدي او ايتاليا ياآلمان است.

مورينيو ادامه داد: دو پيشنهاد دارم اما نمي*گويم از كجا. فقط مي*گويم كه علاقه*اي به پذيرفتن آنها ندارم. به دليل شرايط فوتبال ، مدتي استراحت مي*كنم. هيچ مربي در ماه سپتامبر يا اكتبر اخراج نمي*شود بنابراين هر زمان كه پيشنهادي مطرح شود، آماده خواهم بود.

Avram Grant is barely on the job at Chelsea following Jose Mourinho. Now he must wonder how long he will be there.

The former Israel coach watched the Blues lose his first game in charge -- 2-0 to big rival Manchester United -- to slide to sixth in the Premier League.

During the game, he heard the Chelsea fans chant the names of predecessor Mourinho and his assistant, Steve Clarke, who was sitting beside him.

Not so much as an "Avram, give us a wave" from the Blues faithful, many not knowing why he joined the club in the first place.

Then there's the little matter that he doesn't hold a UEFA Pro License to manage in the Premier League despite his experience in Israel.

Sightings of Netherlands coach Marco van Basten sitting behind owner Roman Abramovich at Old Trafford may not add to Grant's security at Chelsea, either. Neither will the fact that the Russian met former England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson at the game, the Swede now in charge of Manchester City.

There is also speculation that Grant, hired as part of the coaching staff in July, is only keeping the seat warm for another of the owner's favorites, Russia coach Guus Hiddink.

If that's not enough to worry him, there are rumors that Abramovich is taking a hands-on role with the players instead of being content to occasionally open his checkbook.

He reportedly was seen telling off midfielder Michael Essien about his performance after last week's limp 1-1 tie with modest Rosenborg in the Champions League while Mourinho, soon to leave the club, was holding his postgame news conference.

But Abramovich doesn't speak English well enough to explain his thoughts to Essien face to face. The significance of that meeting, according to Sunday's Observer, was that his words were translated by Andriy Shevchenko, the Ukrainian striker Abramovich hired from AC Milan apparently against Mourinho's wishes.

Fancy that. Andriy Shevchenko, the $62 million translator.

While there seems no sign yet of Abramovich sitting next to Grant on the bench for some kind of "Abram-Avram" linkup, the Israeli appears to have a tough job convincing the media and skeptical Chelsea fans that he is the man to maintain Mourinho's successes at Stamford Bridge.

"I know everybody said I don't have experience in the English league, don't have experience as a coach," he said. "But I have been here many, many times in training, in games. I don't see any problems but I do understand the doubts. It is not the first time somebody came and nobody knew anything about him."

Mourinho, by contrast, was enjoying spectacular fame when he moved to Stamford Bridge. He had just led FC Porto to a Champions League triumph and that was a season after a UEFA Cup victory to go with back-to-back Portuguese league titles.

He guided the Blues to their first domestic league championship in 50 years, followed it up with another and also captured the League and FA Cups. Although he led Chelsea to two Champions League semifinals, that wasn't good enough for Abramovich. He badly wants Europe's most prestigious title so he can hold his head up alongside the owners of Europe's other powerhouses.

That means Grant, assuming he is to stay in charge of the team, has one of the toughest jobs in the game.

He has to revive the team's Premier League fortunes after no goals and two losses in three matches. And he must capture Champions League victories over Valencia and Schalke to guide Chelsea toward the knockout phase.

"It is not important what I say now," Grant said soon after taking over from Mourinho. "It is important what we are going to do on the pitch. I can say many things but I need to show it on the pitch."

Grant will be in charge again when Chelsea goes to low-key Hull City on Wednesday in English soccer's third-tier League Cup. That's after a Premier League game against Manchester United at Old Trafford, and Chelsea fans may see a parallel.

A visit to Hull after Manchester United is a little like Grant following Mourinho.

Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is willing to consider the vacant position as manager of England's national team, he told The Sun tabloid in an early edition of its Wednesday paper.

Asked if he was keen on the role,, the Portuguese replied: "You will have to speak to the FA (Football Association) to see if they are interested in offering me the job."

"I cannot say what I think until they say they are interested. Tell the FA to come and get me ... We will have to wait and see. But I rule nothing out."

England are without a manager after the FA sacked Steve McClaren on Thursday after a 3-2 defeat against Croatia at Wembley the previous evening meant the side failed to quualify for the 2008 European Championships.

FA chief executive Brian Barwick, who played a key role in what many viewed as the excessively hasty appointment of McClaren, has now promised to take his time as he searches for a new manager.

Early favourite Martin O'Neill has ruled himself out, as have Sam Allardyce and Alan Curbishley, who were both interviewed when McClaren's Swedish predecessor Sven-Goran Eriksson announced his intention to quit.

Although there remains a strong body of opinion within English football that would like to see a homegrown or at 'worst' a British manager chosen, the FA have not ruled out appointing a foreigner to the post with respected Italian manager Fabio Capello another possible candidate together with Mourinho.

Mourinho quit Chelsea in September following a series of rows with the London club's Russian owner Roman Abramovich.

During his three years at Stamford Bridge the 'Special One', as Mourinho described himself having guided FC Porto to Champions League glory in 2004, steered Chelsea to two Premier League titles in his first two years in charge, last season's FA Cup and the League Cup in 2005 and 2007.

[abadani69]

Back-to-back league titles in his first seasons in English soccer suggest Jose Mourinho would be the ideal man to revive England's national team.

All the former Chelsea manager is waiting for is an approach from the Football Association.


If the FA stays true to form, however, the call may never come.

The traditionally conservative leaders of English soccer have a reputation for hiring coaches who toe the party line and keep a diplomatic silence on controversial issues.

Sven-Goran Eriksson couldn't avoid hitting the headlines for his colorful private life but never said anything out of line about soccer matters. Steve McClaren, fired two weeks ago after England failed to qualify for the Euro 2008 championship, also refused to criticize his rivals, referees or, more important, his bosses.

Look at the list of coaches the FA has hired over the years.

Ron Greenwood, Bobby Robson, Graham Taylor, Terry Venables, Glenn Hoddle and Kevin Keegan also did nothing to antagonize the FA. But they didn't win anything at international level. The FA refused to appoint the man regarded the best for the job, Brian Clough, because he was considered something of a liability.

Clough led Derby County and Nottingham Forest to their first league titles and took Forest to consecutive European Cup triumphs during a golden era for English club soccer. But Clough didn't get the job he really wanted -- coach of England -- because he didn't fit the FA's mold.

When Derby was beaten and eliminated by Juventus in the 1973 European Cup semifinal, he called the Italian players "cheats." As Forest manager, he described a referee after a UEFA Cup semifinal loss to Anderlecht as "crooked" and, during a league game, chased and punched a fan who had run onto the field.

Mourinho has some of the Clough style of management. While Mourinho called himself the "Special One" because of his achievements and potential to win more, Clough said: "I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one."

Mourinho is fluent in several languages and speaks his mind on a variety of issues, mostly to support his players, often to justify his opinion and sometimes to rile the opposition.

It's a style that has made the Portugues coach popular with fans of his own team but infuriated his rivals. During his 3 1/2 years at Chelsea, Mourinho became friendly with Manchester United's Alex Ferguson but upset Arsenal's Arsene Wenger and Liverpool's Rafa Benitez.

His colorful quotes also made him very popular with the media. But the FA may be terrified of appointing someone who may even be critical of his own bosses, the same people who have failed to find anyone to lead the team to a title since Alf Ramsey in 1966.

Appointed by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich after leading FC Porto to the 2004 Champions League title, Mourinho left the Blues in September after warring with billionaire Russian owner Roman Abramovich.

It was Abramovich, rather than Mourinho, who brought in AC Milan striker Andriy Shevchenko. The coach felt the owner was undermining his authority.

Mourinho's media adviser, Eladio Parames, said Monday the former Chelsea manager would be interested in hearing from the FA.

"It would be an honor. He likes English soccer, the English people, the country, the players. It would be something he'd consider," Parames said. "But he's not waving his hand in the air trying to get (the FA's) attention. If he's approached, he'll reply."

The FA isn't exactly waving its hand, either.

While many potential candidates have been mentioned in the media -- from former AC Milan and Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello to former England captain Alan Shearer -- the FA says there's no hurry to appoint anyone.

Because England failed to qualify for next year's European Championship -- the first time since the 1994 World Cup it didn't reach a major championship -- the national team has nothing but exhibitions to play before qualifying starts next season for the 2010 World Cup.

But that means talented players like Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard, John Terry, Frank Lampard, Owen Hargreaves and Joe Cole have no one to guide them for the foreseeable future. David Beckham is stuck at 99 international appearances not knowing whether he will reach the 100 mark.

If England is going to make a run for a major title, the FA can't afford to dither or wait for another yes-man to come along.

Mourinho is available now and waiting for the call.
