Former Real Madrid and Chelsea Manager Jose Mourinho has hinted he will return to coaching "soon" despite reports that his representatives have opened talks with hierarchy at Manchester United.
But GQ interview which was released on Saturday night, the 53-year-old revealed he is not happy spending time away from football.
"No, I am not enjoying it," Mourinho said. "I can have everything I
love at the same time. I can have my family, I can have my friends, I
can have my quiet life, which I also like, and I can have my football...
I can have everything together and I don't need to give up on one of
them.
"To be fully happy I need everything, so I go back to football. I
think it's my natural habitat. I have worked since I can remember, and
as a manager since 2000. I stopped when I left Chelsea in 2007, for a
few months, and now is the second time I stop in 15 or 16 years, so it
is not a drama. But for sure, I will be back soon."
The former chelsea boss said he has a preference for the Premier League after finding a
greater challenge with Chelsea than in previous spells as manager of
Inter Milan and Real Madrid.
"I experimented with English, Italian and Spanish football, three of
the top football sides in the world. I always say I need competition -- I
need competition every week.
"In Spain I was at an amazing club but I had four matches a year --
Barcelona v Real Madrid, Real Madrid v Barcelona -- and after that you
win 4-0, 5-0, 5-1, 6-1...
"Easy to win matches but difficult to win the league, because you are
competing against a team that wins and wins and wins like you do,
because there are two monsters together.
"So in the end I was champion in Spain with 100 points, and I lost
the league in Spain with 91 points. Whereas in England you win leagues
with 75, maybe less, so I need competition."
"At this moment I don't have a job, and I don't know where football
will take me, because in football you never know," he said. "But for
sure for sure for sure, as a family, our home will still be England, our
home will be in London. But obviously I am ready to move.
"As a professional, I am ready to move, especially because football
in London for me, in terms of clubs... I think it is clear that I have
to move."
