Mourinho urges Portugal to retain Scolari
|
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has urged Luiz Felipe Scolari to stay on as Portugal coach.
Mourinho told Portuguese TV: "There are not many Portuguese coaches with his record or status to motivate a team to reach this level of performance.
"There is every reason for him to continue. I hope that is what happens."
Mourinho was also quick to praise Scolari's man-management skills.
He added: "Ricardo was not a starting goalkeeper with Sporting Lisbon for a while, Maniche has hardly played in a year.
"Costinha has not had a club, Helder Postiga scores one or two goals a year, Miguel was without a club for a while and Nuno Valente was at one point playing for the Porto B team.
"But all the time Scolari told them he counted on them."
