Chelsea boss Mourinho wants 'coaching breaks' introduced during games

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho wants 'coaching breaks' introduced in games.

Mourinho says a change in the rules would make football more entertaining and allow managers to change their tactics once during each half.

He explained: "Football is very slow to change the rules. How many years have we had to wait for goal line technology, for the third substitution?

"I hope I am still in football when they give the coach the chance to stop the game during the first half once and during the second half because you can make the game much better.

"Imagine against Leicester, I would have stopped the game in the tenth minute! It would be interesting.

"Louis Van Gaal in the World Cup, the ref stopped the game for the water break, and he changed the system of his team and managed to win the game.

"So maybe I will one day have the chance to stop the game in the first half and once in the second half."
