 The Football Association have approached Jose Mourinho's agent with a view to making him the next England manger, it has been claimed.
According to reports from a number of newspapers Mourinho is set to have talks with the FA and could already be on his way to London.
The news has seen the Portuguese's odds of taking the job slashed to 6/4 with Paddy Power and Stan James.
And Mourinho has been given the backing of fellow candidate Martin O'Neill, who revealed that the former Chelsea man would be a good appointment.
He told the Times: "I think Jose would be an excellent choice, simple as that.
"An England manager should have the time (to put a good structure in place) because he doesn't have to organise a training session every morning.
"It should be his business to get around and see how the structure operates, to see what is happening at clubs," he added.
Meanwhile, O'Neill himself remains among the front-runners for the job, priced at 9/1 with Boyle Sports.
