Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho hinted that he is willing to take over the England team, according to the British media.

 

"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," he was quoted as saying in Wednesday's Sun newspaper.

 

The Portuguese left Chelsea in September after three successful years at Stamford Bridge.

 

While England are without a manager after the FA sacked Steve McClaren on Thursday after a 3-2 defeat against Croatia at Wembley the previous evening meant the side failed to qualify for the 2008 European Championships.
