LONDON, Sept 20 (Reuters) - Bookmakers William Hill reckon Jose Mourinho's next job is likely to be as coach of the Portuguese national side but also suggest Barcelona as a leading possibility.

Reports that Chelsea's Avram Grant is set to succeed Mourinho at the club have not stopped Hill's speculating on his eventual replacement.

They rate France's Didier Deschamps and Dutchman Guus Hiddink as 9-2 chances but quote Grant as an odds-on chance still to be in charge at the start of next season.
