Mourinho hints at Premier League return: "London is our home"


 


Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that he is "ready" to return to coaching, but only in the Premier League and not in Spain because La Liga is not "competitive" enough.
In his first television interview since leaving Chelsea, the Portuguese told 'Sky Sports' that he wants to stay in England with his family. "At the moment, I don't have a job. I don't know where football will take me because, in football, you never know, but for sure, as a family, our home will be in London", he said. "As a manager, I've worked since 2000 and I last stopped when I left Chelsea in 2007. I stopped for a few months and now is the second time I've stopped in 15 or 16 years, so it's not a drama, but for sure, I will go back soon. As a professional, I'm ready to move", he continued.
Mourinho also ruled out making a return to La Liga. "I always say that I need competition and I need competition every week and in Spain, I was at an amazing club but I had four matches a year: Barcelona vs. Real Madrid, Real Madrid vs. Barcelona and after that we'd win 4-0, 5-0, 4-1, 6-1", he explained. "It was difficult to win the league because you are competing against another team that also win and win and win like you do, so in the end, I was champion in Spain with 100 points and I lost a league in Spain with 91 points", he recalled. "In England, you can win the leagues with 75 points, maybe less, so I needed competition", he concluded.
