Reports indicate that Jose Mourinho is being considered for the position of Brazil national team manager.
The Portuguese coach, currently managing Fenerbahce, is reportedly on a four-man shortlist for the job.
Despite a good record with Fenerbahce, Mourinho might miss out on the league title.
Mourinho has openly expressed his ambition to manage a national team, a desire he restated last December.
His aspiration could soon be realized as he is reportedly linked to the Brazil job, being on a shortlist that also includes Carlo Ancelotti.
Ancelotti, currently managing Real Madrid, is also a target for Brazil, considered their top choice.
Other Portuguese managers, Jorge Jesus and Abel Ferreira, are also reportedly of interest.
Brazil is seeking a new manager following the dismissal of Dorival Junior last month after a short tenure.
Dorival Junior was in charge for only 14 months, during which he won just seven out of sixteen games.
Ancelotti was previously linked to the Brazil job, but his commitment to Real Madrid until 2026 complicated negotiations.
Jorge Jesus is another strong candidate, but his commitment to Palmeiras for the Club World Cup this summer might be a hurdle.
This situation could create an opportunity for Mourinho, who has admitted his attraction to international football.
Mourinho stated his desire to participate in major international tournaments like the European Championship or the World Cup, aiming to unite a nation behind a team, similar to his experiences with club teams.
He believes managing a national team would be an incredible experience in his career.
