Coleman knows 'The Special One' from his time as Fulham boss when Mourinho was down the road at Stamford Bridge and feels that he can call him if required.
Speaking to the Sunday People, Chris Coleman said: "I've spoke to him once since I've been at Coventry and I always feel I can ring him, maybe before the Chelsea game."
Assistant manager Steve Kean, who speaks fluent Portuguese, also has links to Chelsea and still has some good contacts at the West London club and used them to help bring Lee Sawyer to the Ricoh Arena on a month's loan.
City had Chelsea watched against Wigan yesterday and Coleman and Keane are expected to attend their game at Portsmouth on Tuesday night.
City also had Sheffield United, who are next up at the Ricoh Arena on Wednesday night, watched this afternoon. The Blades beat Birmingham City 2-1.
