Jose Mourinho has reiterated his desire to return to management in the summer.<\/p>\n
The Portuguese has been out of work since being sacked by Chelsea for a second time<\/strong> in December, and has been persistently linked with Manchester United.<\/strong><\/p>\n Louis van Gaal remains in position at Old Trafford and there has been no comment from the club to suggest that will change, but the Mourinho rumours persist.<\/p>\n However, Mourinho – who has turned down an offer to coach the Syrian national side – says he is ready to come back in the summer.<\/p>\n Speaking to Sky Sports News at the Anthony Joshua-Charles Martin fight, he said: “(Van Gaal) is my friend, I worked with him for a few years. I am always linked with jobs and in the summer I will have a job, but in this moment I can promise you I do not have a contract with any club.”<\/p>\n On the approach from Syria, he said: “They (The Syrian FA) published (the offer) on their website the letter they sent to my agent. That one I have to say is true, but I have to say in a very special way we said we were not interested in the job.<\/p>\n “I have made this exception to speak with you (the media) because I didn’t speak for a long time, but I am going back to the same position. The only thing I can say is I don’t have a contract with any club but in the summer I will be back.”<\/p>\n Mourinho’s second Chelsea departure came after a terrible start to the defence of their title – the third Barclays Premier League crown won by Mourinho.<\/p>\n He has been linked with jobs all around the world since leaving Chelsea, but says he would prefer to return to work in England.<\/p>\n The 53-year-old added: “I am not in position to turn down (jobs). I am in a position to analyse, this is April, everything starts in July, every decision is made between May and the start of June.<\/p>\n “I am not in a position to deny, I am open to any club, national team, but I have to be honest, if possible, a club.<\/p>\n “I would prefer (to stay England). I love the country, the football here, my family is very stable and happy.”<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n Source: Talksport<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jose Mourinho has reiterated his desire to return to management in the summer.
