Portuguese manager, Jose Mourinho says he will return to football – but only to a club with the “right culture”.
Mourinho was sacked as manager of Tottenham on April 19 but is keen to return to football under the right conditions. He had spent just 17 months in North London as manager of Spurs after previous stints at Chelsea, Internazionale, Real Madrid and Manchester United. The London club parted company with the Portuguese just six days before losing 1-0 to Manchester City in the EFL Cup final at Wembley.
Mourinho has signed up to media duties for the upcoming rescheduled Euro 2020 and although he will return to management, the 58-year-old will ensure he waits for the right opportunity.
“I have no plans,” he told the Times Magazine. “I am going on with my normal life. I feel fresh. I feel calm. I am on holiday.
“I have more time to be doing my homework and analysis. I’ll wait to be back in football. “Not just for the right club, but for the right culture. Maybe next season is premature, we will see.”
Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers is the favourite to replace Mourinho at Tottenham, with Ryan Mason in charge until the end of the season.
