The two alpha males have gone at each other’s necks on numerous occasions before when they were in charge of Chelsea and Manchester United respectively, but the United boss is not about to let flare-ups of the past cloud his judgment.
“Jose Mourinho should be the next England manager,” Sir Alex was quoted as saying to a confidante according to the Sun newspaper.
"It is the job of club managers to get the most from their players technically.
“It is the job of the England manager to motivate the players — and there is no one better at that than Mourinho.
“If the FA consult me about it, I’ll give them a shortlist of one — and tell them to get Mourinho.”
Yet another ‘Sir’, Former England coach Bobby Robson, has also come out in support of the Portuguese manager.
“I think Mourinho is a great candidate for England,” he said.
“I’d prefer an English manager. But everything depends on the solutions available and, if there’s no interesting name from within, Mourinho would be a very good choice.”
