Eye on better things: Carvalho

The 30-year-old is one of many players expected to be tempted to join Mourinho,
and he admits a tough decision lies in wait for him at the end of the tournament.

"I have heard a few comments (about a move to Inter)," he said.

"It's a club matter and I am focused on playing for the national team so we will see after.

"But I would love to be coached by Mourinho again. The majority of the trophies I have won were won with Mourinho.

Player hunt: Mourinho

"At Chelsea, there is a new cycle happening so we will see what happens. I have a contract with Chelsea.

"But you never know - sometimes a challenge is good for a player. I will speak
with Peter Kenyon after the tournament."

Carvalho's national boss, Brazilian Luis Felipe Scolari, could be the man charged with changing the player's mind after he increased speculation that he would be the man to replace Avram Grant.

Scolari, whose contract with Portugal expires at the end of the tournament, is one of the favourites to take the Blues job and yesterday revealed he was interested in a change of environment.

"For the atmosphere, for the love of Portugal, it will be difficult to leave, but I'm a professional and I have lived everywhere in the world," he said. I am ready to live in a different country.

"I have a contract with the Portuguese Federation and I will fulfil that. Afterwards, we will see what happens."
