Jose Mourinho admits the Brazil national team job is certainly of interest to him.

The Portuguese manager is currently happy in his debut season at Manchester United but is always lending some sort of through to the future.

On the subject of perhaps one day coaching Brazil, Mourinho admits it is a job he would find interesting but may be too difficult once his time at Old Trafford is up.

“I think following Manchester United I need an easier job than Manchester United, and coaching the Brazilian team should be more difficult," he said in an interview with ESPN Brazil.

“Obviously it would be exciting, any coach wants to work with the best clubs and with the best. The Brazilian team is obviously a leader of success, obviously with talent, no matter what the generation, talent always appears.

“But I have to confess that it must be difficult, in every Brazilian there is a coach, in each journalist there is a better coach than the coach.

“I think it must be a difficult country to work for, but also a passionate one."

Brazil, however, have never had a non-Brazilian coach prompting Mourinho to add: “I recognise that the Brazilian national team is for a Brazilian coach."
