Spanish sports daily, MARCA, is reporting that Real Madrid coach, Jose Mourinho, has been seen with the President of the Portuguese Football Federation, Gilberto Madail, and his agent, Jorge Mendes, at a dinner in a Madrid restaurant this week.
MARCA reports that Gilberto Madail is looking to "loan" Mourinho for the Portuguese national team and have him take charge of matches in October against Iceland and Denmark.
The former coach Carlos Queiroz was sacked last week after a poor start on the road to Ukraine and Poland with no replacement names in the offing other than Paulo Bento. It seems the Federation have designs on Jose Mourinho.
The Director of Institutional Relations of Real Madrid, Emilio Butragueño, said the club has no record of the Portuguese Football Federation's (FPF) interest or confirmation that Jose Mourinho wants to manage his national team in the next two qualifying matches of Euro 2012.
"I just spoke with the club management and they do not have any information either, so there is little to say," said Butragueño.
"I will not say something about a matter that we do not know is even true." he reiterated during his participation at the meeting of Technical Committee of the International Federation of Professional Footballers (FIFPro).
