Jose Mourinho has spoken enthusiastically about the possibility of taking charge of either Real Madrid or Barcelona one day.
The Primera Liga giants are two of a number of clubs frequently being linked with Mourinho, who has been out of work since leaving Chelsea earlier this season.
The Portuguese insists his next destination has yet to be decided, but he admits the top jobs at Madrid and Barca both appeal to him.
"Barcelona is an absolutely fantastic club and I enjoyed my time there very much, just like in the six games I have played against them in three years," said Mourinho, who was at Barca earlier in his career as an assistant coach.
"I don't know if my future will be to train Barca or to play against them. (Either way) what is clear is that I hope to enjoy myself again with Barcelona."
Like Barca, Real Madrid still have a coach in place at present but that has not stopped speculation about the possibility of Mourinho taking charge at the Bernabeu either.
When asked about Madrid during an interview with Spanish newspaper ABC this weekend, Mourinho said: "Every coach wants to coach Real Madrid, I am not the only one."
Mourinho also denied any suggestion that he had already signed a deal to become the next boss of Italian side Inter Milan.
"No, I continue being a coach free to decide my future. I do not feel any type of pressure to decide what I want to do. I can wait a little more."
The former Porto manager's immediate future will almost certainly see him end up either in Spain or Italy but a return to the Premier League remains a long-term goal.
"I am a lover of English football, but after having been at Chelsea three seasons I would like to change leagues and return afterwards to England," he said.
"Spain and Italy along with England are three countries with the greater quality leagues, with the greater impact on a world level.
"Calcio (Serie A) is very tactical, with quite a defined football philosophy. I would like to work there with my ideas and my philosophy.
"I have worked four years in Spain, as an assistant and not as a coach. But it was a very nice time and I would not have problem about returning."
