'After Real Madrid, England' - Mourinho plots Premier League return

Sep 22, 2012 7:38:00 AM

The former Chelsea manager says that a move back to England once he leaves the Bernabeu "is clear in his mind", and refuses to rule out any club as his next destination

Jose Mourinho has indicated he wants to manage a Premier League club again when his time at Real Madrid is over.

The 49-year-old left Chelsea in September 2007 following an alleged falling-out with Blues owner Roman Abramovich, but has long been tipped to return to England once his spell with the Blancos runs its course.

"When I speak about it in Spain, they turn my words immediately, but I cannot deny what is clear in my mind," he told Sky Sports.

"After Real Madrid, England. That's for sure, but I keep saying on the same thing, I know clearly it's where I want to be."

The former Porto and Inter boss also made it clear he would be open to managing any top-flight outfit, despite his strong ties to Stamford Bridge.

He added: "Everyone [is an option]. I am blue. I am a London blue but I am professional."
