Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho’s assistant Rui Faira has recently expressed his wish to take over at Arsenal as new manager. Mourinho who has been friends with Faira since they were 18, backed his friend’s decision to try himself as head coach.
Arsenal manager’s post will be vacat at the end of the season and Mourinho is eager to help his friend pack and carry the bags whenever such opportunity arose.
Asked if his assistant would be a good fit at Arsenal, the United boss said: 'I think (so), yes.
'I don't know (if he wants to be a manager). You ask me if I think it would be a good fit and I say "yes".
'And I say it because more than my assistant, he is my friend.
'If my friend has the possibility one day of a big job I would help him to pack and to carry the bags and to wish him luck," Mourinho said.
'So, if one day that is going to happen the first one to be happy would probably be myself because I met him when he was a kid in his university and we were together for 18 years, so he is a big friend, more than an assistant.
'So, if one day the moment arrives, I will be very happy.'
