Mourinho Reportedly Out Of England Reckoning
Friday 23 November 2007 at 08:50  Front-runner for the vacant England managers job Jose Mourinho has reportedly ruled himself out of becoming Steve McClaren's successor.
The ex-Chelsea manager has now slipped down the betting and is a 6/1 shot with Paddy Power and Sporting Bet.
According to the BBC's Jonathan Legard, Mourinho would prefer a return to a club side rather than a national one.
He said: "A national job, even such a special post like England, would only appeal at a later stage in his career and the chances are even then that would only be the Portugal job."
And, Fabio Capello, after admitting that he would be interested in the role, is now among the favourites to take the helm.
The former Real Madrid and AC Milan man has seen his odds shorten to 3/1 with Bet Fred and Sporting Bet.
Meanwhile, Martin O'Neill remains the bookies choice to take the hot-seat with Stan James offering odds of 5/2 for the Northern Irishman to be the next England manager.
