Mourinho £10m for UAE job

Jose Mourinho has been offered an incredible £10million-a-year deal to take charge of the United Arab Emirates for their World Cup campaign.

Mourinho was on £5.5m-a-year at Chelsea and would seem highly unlikely to take the job - but the size of the offer may make him think him twice.

Sheikh Mohammed failed with an attempt to take over Liverpool and is a deeply passionate football fan.

The mega-rich tycoon owns Dubai International Capital and has the finances to bankroll an attempt to land Mourinho.

UAE’s French coach Bruno Metsu’s contract finishes next year and former Porto star Rabad Madjer, now a TV commentator in Qatar, said: “Mourinho is a huge name and his arrival would be massive for the country.”
