Mourinho plays down Liverpool talk
Jose Mourinho has tonight denied reports that he will become the next Liverpool manager after Rafa Benitez.
The former Chelsea manager has been linked with the Reds for some time now due to the ongoing speculation over Benitez' future at the club.
But in a statement, Parades (Mourinho representative) said: "These are aberrant and heinous ideas."Some media have consistently linked Jose Mourinho's name with various clubs without, as they are ethically bound to do, trying to determine the truth of these reports."
"It is unacceptable that the unscrupulous press uses the name of Mourinho when they try to create or profit from current controversial situations in different teams as has happened recently," he added.
Although these reports distance Mourinho from the Liverpool I still envisage him taking over the reins at Anfield next season. Mourinho as we all know is a quality manager and I feel is just what Liverpool need. He manage to turn Chelsea, who were in truth an average side, to being one of Europe's top teams and I feel he could be the man to lead Liverpool to league success.
