Mendes offers Mourinho to Napoli president Mourinho

Agent Jorge Mendes has offered Jose Mourinho to Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis.

Sportmediaset says just hours after Mourinho's dismissal, his agent Mendes was on the phone to De Laurentiis to raise the prospect of the Special One moving to the Maradona this summer.

ADL didn't dismiss the idea, but explained he was totally focused on the January market and won't considering Napoli's coaching position until next month at the earliest.

Walter Mazzarri is tied to Napoli until June and ADL is happy to stick with the veteran coach until then.

The one stumbling block to Mourinho landing in Naples is his €7m-a-year wage demands - which De Laurentiis would be unprepared to match.
