Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has admitted that he would like to return to management in England, but only after his time at the Santiago Bernabeu is done.
The Portuguese tactician had a largely successful stint with Chelsea before winning the Champions League and Serie A double with Inter; he is now eager to bring silverware to the Spanish capital.
Despite having a contract with Madrid until 2014, Mourinho has stated that he would love his next job to be back in the Premier League.
“I am very, very happy to be in Real Madrid,” he told BBC Radio Four.
“It is a great experience for me. I believe it is probably the biggest club in the history of football, I didn’t want to miss the chance to work here, but my passion is England and my next step will be to go back, if possible go and stay for a long time.
“Get me a club in a couple of years, get me a good club,” he stated.
Mourinho has been touted as one of the candidates to replace Sir Alex Ferguson when the Scottish coach finally stands down from the Manchester United hotseat, and he is not counting this out.
“I would consider going to Manchester United but United have to consider if they want me to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson. If they do, then of course,” he concluded.
