Plus he got an early vacation, Mourinho (when he was not a cynic yet) said that he was getting paid a fortune and you must not fel sorry for being fired. The vast majority are in a much worse cenario. You getting paid to tell people on a pitch how to kick a ball around.
CQ is leaving Iran on Feb. There are rumors about Jose being the next candid. It might be BS but IFF was paying CQ and his staff a salary around 6~7m$ (including bonus, side deals, etc). Do you give this any weight?
I think if Jose manages a national team, it's going to be in the Middle East, England or Russia. Those are the only federations i see throwing money at him.
