Mourinho Not Interested In Man United Job

Tuesday, March 10, 2009 -- Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho has reportedly denied fostering any interest in replacing Sir Alex Ferguson as the manager of the reigning Premier League and European champions Manchester United in the future.


Earlier last week the British media were obsessed with the news that the former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho wanted to manage Man United when Sir Alex Ferguson retires.

But Mourinho has now dismissed all such claims made by the Brirtish media. His advisor, Eladio Parames, has told the British tabloid The Sun that all such reports are unfounded and made it clear that Mourinho is staying with Inter Milan.

He said:

"Jose did not give an interview or speak with anyone about Alex Ferguson’s job.

"The contents of the article are ridiculous. First, it shows a lack of respect to Sir Alex, whom Jose is a great admirer of and believes will manage Manchester United for many years to come.

"Jose has a deal with Inter, which he plans to honour, and it shows a lack of respect to Manchester United in a week in which Inter are preparing to face them in an important Champions League match."
