Hoddle: Jose wants club

Glenn Hoddle believes that Jose Mourinho is unlikely to accept the opportunity of managing England, instead choosing to manage a club. Mourinho has reportedly turned down the chance to become the England boss in favour of taking control of a club as of next season.

"I wonder whether he would prefer to be a club manager, it looks to me that he wants to be hands-on," said Hoddle.

"I think he'd find it frustrating if he took the England job, he's obviously got the best out of Chelsea players but that was on a day-to-day basis.

"He wouldn't be able to do that with England and that is one of the frustrations the England manager will feel. Once you are away, you can't be at the clubs talking to your players - the managers wouldn't want that.

"It's frustrating getting a squad together, getting a good or bad result then waiting six weeks to three months for your next game and players are not there because they are injured. It's a different type of challenge."
