Former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says he's not ready to take charge of Portugal.

Mourinho did admit to having a desire to take charge of Portugal someday, but not in the immediate future.

"Fernando [Santos] has nothing to worry about, I'm not interested now or in the short term and we're good friends," joked the former Real Madrid boss.

"It's something I'd like to do before retiring, but I have a long way to go in my career.

"It won't be now and we'll see if the chance comes or not."
