Mourinho: I turned down PSG job twice

Jose Mourinho has twice rejected an offer to become coach of Paris Saint-Germain but has not ruled out moving to the French capital once his time with Chelsea ends.

Mourinho: I turned down PSG job twice

The Portuguese manager warned opposition coaches that he expects to be working for another 14-15 years, explaining: “I am only at half-time in my career.” He also continued his feud with Arsene Wenger by claiming the Arsenal boss shoving him in the chest last week was “inexplicable”.

Chelsea beat PSG in the Champions League quarter-final last season, and the French champions have long been trying to coax Eden Hazard from Stamford Bridge. But Hazard is not the only Chelsea asset that PSG owners QSI covet: Mourinho said that he was offered the job in summer 2011, and again in 2013, before he returned Chelsea.
