Eurosport - Mon, 20 Oct 12:05:00 2008

Jose Mourinho has said that he intends to return to the Premier League when his time as Internazionale coach comes to an end.

FOOTBALL 2008-2009 Serie A Internazionale Inter-Lecce Mourinho - 0

"I'm in love with the English league and I'll definitely return one day," the former Chelsea manager told Sky television after his side's 4-0 win over Roma, while also denying media reports linking him to Liverpool.

"I think that's what I want to do after Inter. Everyone says that I want to go to Spain, that I want to be the coach of my national team.

"It's not true. I want to return to England after Inter."

However, the 45-year-old Portuguese also said he had no immediate plans to move on.

"I have a contract with Inter. I'm happy with Inter," he said.

Mourinho led Chelsea to the Premier League title in 2005 and 2006 after inspiring un-fancied Porto to Champions League glory in 2004.

  6. why did he make such a comment right now? morati loves­ him, inter is playing well and they have a good chance­ of winning everything (serie a and the cl).
    well, if he­ wants to return to england, he'd better choose man­ utd. man city will be a stupid choice. all these­ new-money clubs have no clue of football and jose­ should have taken his lesson, dealing with abramovich.­ if he leaves inter (why on earth would he do this?­ milan is a great city and italy by far a better place­ to live than england) he d better go to a team which­ respects good coaches like no other. man utd.

  7. I respect Mourinho because of his achievement in­ Porto,but going by that achievement there are other­ greater coaches who donot make noise like him.Check out­ Raphael Benitez and his achievement at Valencia and his­ first season at liverpool.Look at Anchieloti of AC­ MILAN,and SIR HIMSELF(Alex freguson)then the greatest­ coach on Earth FABIO CAPELLO.These are coaches that­ donot need the millions Mourinho needs to operate
    This­ statement of claiming that he would love to return to­ the premiership is all about trying to get manchester­ city to be intrested in him.There isn,t any new magic­ going on in Inter right now his predessesor won the­ league twice and even in one occassion was unbeaten in­ the intalian league.
    Am not a fan of­ liverpool,manchester united or an English man

  9. I for one agree with Eddie...
    Jose Moaniho at­ United???
    Its possible, so you can never write that­ off...
    Once Fergie, Lord of Old Trafford leaves the­ club, its gonna be difficult in the extreme to do as­ well as him...
    Naw, Id say impossible...
    Its gonna take­ a very conifedent man to take over, so yeah, I think­ Eddie could be right...

  10. Under mourinho, chelsea was a winning team. But under­ scolari, chelsea plays football and wins. jose is no­ doubt very good at winning, but i think scolari is­ class.

    From bosun_dele, on Mon 20 Oct 5:34PM

  11. I think that the sheer impact he had on Chelsea and­ English football will never be fully recognised because­ he had the unfortunate disposition of thinking in­ portuguese and speaking in english which lead to many­ misquotes in the english press.

    Mourinho's­ undoing was his reaction to being refused when faced­ with an injury crisis, he requested for extra transfer­ money and was turned down. A year later, a certain­ gentleman called Avram Grant got money to buy, and what­ did he do? Also, there is no doubt Scolari will be­ given money in January. Thanks Jose, but sometimes you­ need to button your lip!

    As a chelsea fan, I will­ never forget what he did for the club.

  12. Who is he kidding ? He always wanted to be the coach­ either at Barçelona or Real Madrid. He also made no­ secret of his desire to be the head coach of­ Portugal.Enough BS !!

  13. In three years time, Sir Alex will finally retire from­ his excellent managerial career at Manchester United.­ Guess who will take over? Jose Mour. You will ask me a­ couple of years if you don't agree with me today­ brothers and sisters.

  15. this may sound like herecy because im 30 years old and­ have always supported man utd through out but id love­ jose to take over at utd when the king retires i think­ jose is exceptional as a manager

  16. Jose dont mind them. man u,liverpl and arsl fans are­ afraid of your tactics.u are too good.

    From oludare, on Mon 20 Oct 4:52PM

  17. Jose is a powerful coach any day any time. He knows the­ job. Honestly, any good coach like Jose will always­ want to coach any big club in the premier league-the­ most well developed league in the world.

    No way Jose! Please stay where you are, there is no­ place for you back here. Chelski don't want you,­ you have no chance of a job with ManU or Liverpool, and­ you would consider any club smaller than them as being­ beneath you.
    There is enough claptrap and hot wind­ coming out of the Government without you being on the­ scene.
    So, remain in European countries, there are­ plenty of clubs for you to have a go at before they all­ find you out and discover that you are just a big bag­ of wind.
