Jose Mourinho has revealed his interest in becoming the next England manager after admitting he is ready to talk to the Football Association.
The former Chelsea boss is believed to be one of the leading candidates to replace the sacked Steve McClaren at the helm of the national side.

McClaren was axed after failing to lead England to next summer's European Championship on the back of a dismal qualifying campaign.
Mourinho, who has been out of football since leaving Chelsea in September, is the fans' favourite for the role and now the Portuguese coach has admitted he would welcome an approach from FA chief executive Brian Barwick.
"You will have to speak to the FA to see if they are interested in offering me the job," he told The Sun.
"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."
Barwick has already suggested that nationality "would not be an issue" in his search for a coach to revitalise England's flagging fortunes.
Mourinho's CV is impressive having led Porto to two Portuguese league championships, plus UEFA Cup and Champions League glory.
The 44-year-old also won the Premier League twice, two League Cups and one FA Cup during his trophy-filled reign at Stamford Bridge.

Paul Marin -19 is one thing, 20 is a whole other matter. It gets even worse if they win the UCL. *groan*.
