Jose Mourinho is already assembling a team of assistants ahead of being appointed the new head coach of the Brazilian national team, it has been reported.
The Portuguese, currently plying his trade with Serie A giants Roma, has regularly been linked with a move into international management having harnessed a hugely successful reputation on the club scene. Now, it appears that he has the Brazil job in mind after previous boss Tite left the role after the South American side only managed to reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar.
The five-time winners were eliminated by Croatia despite being huge favourites to lift the trophy last month. The search has been on for Tite’s successor since and it appears that Mourinho is in line to accept the opportunity according to his former Porto star Carlos Alberto.
