Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho has explained he's still in it for the long haul and wants to be considered for big jobs - despite not being on Liverpool's shortlist

Jose Mourinho set tongues wagging after he was spotted at Liverpool’s 3-1 victory away at Fulham on Sunday.

But despite previous target Xabi Alonso opting to stay put at Bayer Leverkusen and it unclear whether current frontrunner Ruben Amorim is obtainable, Mourinho has not emerged as an alternative for Liverpool. Admittedly, you would not put it past Mourinho for his appearance at Craven Cottage to have been very deliberate as waits for his next managerial position, as Liverpool speculation continues. It has his name back out there, after all, and was swiftly followed by an exclusive interview where he opened up on his future managerial hopes and aspirations.

“It is not like I am 61 and I want to stop at 65,” he said. “No way at all. There is still a long career to go. “The only thing I want is that the targets and the objectives have to be established by everyone in a fair way. I cannot go to a club where, because of my history, the objective is to win the title. No. The only thing I want is that it has to be fair.

When you desperately wanting to win the biggest trophies after years in the wilderness, you are happy to 'deal with the devil' and appoint Mourinho. But when you have already enjoyed a decade of success, he no longer seems so attractive. “So to come to England then it was not just enough that you did something nice in a smaller league. Or that your goalkeeper builds from the back with backheels. What you needed to do was something really big to open that door
