Angola Approach Mourinho

World Cup first timers Angola have made a ballsy approach for Jose Mourinho. They've asked the Chelsea boss to be part of their World Cup preparation team, and "assist coach Luis Goncalves de Oliveira, providing input on coaching methods and helping with the man-management and psychological preparation of the players."

After a season in which Mourinho's been a bit stressed (Barcelona again, handballs, everyone hates us etc) he might prefer to put his feet up during the summer. More importantly, Angola have been drawn in Group D alongside Portugal. The Special One is famously patriotic and might not be keen to work against his compatriots.

The one thing Angola have going for them is Mrs. Mathilde Mourinho, who has Angolan heritage. Maybe she'll have a quiet word with her hubby?
