Mourinho is currently without a job since he was sacked as Manchester United manager last December following a 3-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.
“If CONMEBOL want to increase their audience and make #copaamerica competitive, they should invite European Teams, invite Spain, invite France, invite Portugal. If they invite Portugal, Cristiano might win a Copa America before Messi.”

If u want to make it competitive, invite Euro Teams, invite Spain, Portugal.. Cristiano might win a Copa America b4 Messi. pic.twitter.com/Mfvfi7YzeT

Messi is yet to win a silverware for his country Argentina as they finished in a disappointing third position at the just concluded tournament in Brazil.
The Barcelona captain accused CONMEBOL of corruption, adding that the body designed the competition for the host nation after their 2-0 semi final defeat. On the other hand, Ronaldo helped Portugal win the maiden edition of the UEFA Nations League following their 1-0 win over the Netherlands in the final.
The Juventus striker had also led his team to glory at the 2016 edition of the European Championships, breaking Portugal’s jinx of winning a silverware in their rich footballing history.
