After Unai Emery's sacking on Friday morning it emerged that some Arsenal chiefs had attempted to line up a deal with Jose Mourinho before he took charge at Tottenham.

Asked if he would have been interested in the role at the Emirates two weeks ago, Mourinho said: "There is no point to tell you. It didn't happen, has happened now. I am so happy here that I couldn't even think about the possibility of going to another place.

"You could put in front of me any club in the world and I would not go."

Mourinho, who has experienced being sacked at Chelsea and Manchester United, expressed his sympathy with Emery but is confident the Spaniard will be back before long.

"It's always sad news," he said. "I felt it as a kid when my dad was sacked as a manager, I have felt it myself.

"There is not one single manager sacking that I am happy with.

"I am sad for it but that's life. Unai is a fantastic coach, not happy at Arsenal obviously.

"With a little bit of a rest, another big club will come for him and his career will be back on track so: 'No dramas mi amigo, keep going and you will get another club'.

"I don't know the feelings or if Unai was happy to leave. I just can say that I'm always disappointed when a manager goes, even when I was without a job and I needed someone to leave for me to get a job."
