For several months now, the famous Portuguese unemployed Jose Mourinho had received a specific offer.
He was trying to lure the coach's position in war-torn Syria, which had set a goal to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
"Syrrians published the same letter on their website that they had sent to my agent. I can confirm that this is true.
However, we were forced to announce in a very special way that I am not interested in this offer," - said the coach.
In recent years, Syria's national team has been rapidly rising in the FIFA rankings - since 2014, it has climbed over 40 positions and is currently in 110th place.
