Jose Mourinho sets sights on Premier League return

Jose Mourinho sets sights on Premier League return

Jose Mourinho hopes to return to the Premier League.

The Special One claimed three English league titles in two spells at Chelsea before coaching Manchester United and Tottenham and revealed that he wants to return to the competition as his family continues to live in London.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Mourinho said: "I had three clubs in England, so four different periods I've coached in England, and I love it. And by the social point of view, I've been lucky enough to live in so many cities, but my family lives in London.

"London is home, so one day I have to be back, unless no one wants me. But one day I would like to go back."

Mourinho joined Turkish giants Fenerbahce in the summer and confirmed that he would not consider a return to England until his two-year contract with Fener is complete.

He said: "But don't get me wrong, and let's make it very very clear, for the next two years, this season and next, no one will take me from Fenerbahce."

Mourinho is enjoying his time in Istanbul so far and loves getting to travel between continents on his journey to the training ground.

The Portuguese coach said: "Istanbul is amazing. I live in Europe and go every day to Asia for training, then I come back to Europe to sleep.

"The bridges connect Istanbul's European side to Asian side. I live in Europe, my club is in Asia.

"My training ground is in Asia. I leave here and travel to the other side. It's not dramatic. It's less time than I used to do from London to Cobham (Chelsea Training Ground), and if one day I am unlucky and something is wrong on the bridge, I get the boat to the other side. It's eight minutes, and then another 10 minutes to the training ground."
