Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc rules out the prospect of Jose Mourinho being appointed as the club's next manager.

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has ruled out the prospect of Jose Mourinho being appointed as the club's next manager.

The 55-year-old has been out of a job since he was sacked by Manchester United in December 2018 following a poor start to the 2018-19 season.

Reports in Germany have claimed that Mourinho, who has never managed in the country, was in 'regular contact' with Dortmund about taking up a managerial role.

Responding to rumours of Dortmund making contact with Mourinho, Zorc told Sky Sports News: "We are not having a coach discussion and are happy to have Lucien Favre. These rumours around Mourinho lack any substance."

Numerous reports have linked Mourinho with a return to Real Madrid, whom he managed between 2010 and 2013, amid the club's mixed to start to the season. However, it is also claimed that Mourinho is uninterested in a return to Madrid and will instead hold out to become Tottenham Hotspur's next manager.
