Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho admits he was talked out of taking the England job by his wife.

Mourinho, he admits, enjoys the day-to-day running of a club too much to take a job that would only see him take charge of a handful of matches each year.

He told BT Sport: "She was right. It's too early for me. I love the day-by-day, I love to play, I love the pressure of the day-by-day, the training, the travelling, the matches, the competitiveness.

"I remember clearly there was a moment where the next match for England would be in Paris, France v England, a friendly match. And I was already thinking about who to select, who to play, how to do it.

"She came to me and said, 'When is the next match?', 'Ah the next match is in two months'. 'What are you doing for two months, what are you doing, what are you thinking?', she was saying, 'Forget it, it's not for you, maybe in 20 years'."
