BT Sport have reportedly opened talks with Jose Mourinho with a view to the Chelsea manager taking up an ambassador role with the broadcaster.

The Portuguese has previously been involved in a similar role with Sky Sports, which saw him brand their 2009 football coverage as "special".

According to the Daily Mail, BT Sport are keen to secure the 51-year-old to rival the appointment of former England captain David Beckham as a Sky ambassador.

Mourinho already represents watch manufacturers Hublot, car firm Jaguar and the Untied Nations World Food Programme.
