Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has spoken about his
anger at the position his employers Real Madrid have take over his
proposed temporary role as Portuguese national manager
But it is believed that Real Madrid blocked the move, a decision
Mourinho is unhappy about.
I don't understand why Real will not let me coach Portugal when
I will have almost nothing to do in Madrid," he said after Madrid
beat Real Sociedad 2-1 on Saturday night.
"I will have nine days holiday in Madrid while there are
international matches."
Real's director general Jorge Valdano moved quickly to clarify
the club's position.
"There has not been an official request from Portugal so we have
not declared our position," he told reporters.
"It has been a huge story in the media so the president of the
Portuguese federation rang (Real president) Florentino Perez, but
this was to say they had dropped the idea.
"We gave this to mean the issue was over. Mourinho is put out
because everyone would like to help their country and this reflects
well on him, but there isn't anyone to blame at the club."
