Sporting CP have made an attempt to bring Jose Mourinho back to Portugal.
The former Porto coach has been a free agent since his December sacking by Manchester United.
O Jogo says Sporting did everything to convince the Portuguese to accept their offer.
But Mourinho couldn't be persuaded as he's seeking a more ambitious project.
In Spain, Mourinho's name continues to be among the favourites to succeed Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid.
