Mourinho to Lyon? Ligue 1 side cannot afford 'Special One', admits president

The Portuguese has admitted that he could be tempted to take a managerial post in France, but one leading side appears to be out of the running

Jose Mourinho has hinted at a future role in Ligue 1, but Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas claims his side would be unable to afford the “Special One”.

The Portuguese is currently without a club after parting company with Manchester United in December, with the ex-Chelsea, Inter and Real Madrid boss taking in an enforced break.

He has moved to rule various possibilities in and out amid intense speculation regarding his next move, with there a chance that he could take on a new challenge in France.
