Jose Mourinho Ruled Out of Running to Takeover at Juventus Despite Cristiano Ronaldo's Wishes

Juventus have ruled out any potential attempt to appoint Jose Mourinho as their next manager, despite Cristiano Ronaldo giving his blessing.

Though Mourinho and Ronaldo had their fair share of disputes during the tactician's tenure at Real Madrid, it is understood they have maintained a healthy relationship in the intervening years, and the forward was keen on reuniting with his compatriot in Turin.

However, according to reports in Sky Sports, the Old Lady have declared such a move is 'impossible', owing to the inordinately high wage he would command as well as his relationship with their Derby d'Italia rivals Inter.
