Jose Mourinho keen on undertaking new managerial role

Jose Mourinho has dropped a major hint about his future plans. Former Real Madrid manager reveals that he would like to take a break from club football and take charge for an international team.

56-year-old has been out of the managerial world since being sacked by Manchester United in December 2018 and has been actively indulging in football punditry.

In an interview with Eleven Sports, the Portuguese revealed he still has the hunger and desire to take on new challenges in football.

“I want to compete in new competitions,” he said.

“I think about the World Cup and the European Championships. For a long time I have had the desire to try out such an adventure. Right now, I see myself more at a national team than with a new club."

Mourinho also spoke about whether he would like to manage Crisitano Ronaldo again as Portugal coach.

“Is Portugal the right team for me? Not necessarily,” he said.

Former Chelsea boss said he will not rule out the option to coach another club if it provides a unique kind of challenge.

“Winning a fifth championship in a different country or the Champions League with a third club are things I'd like to do. I wouldn't do it just for that. I only go where a project convinces me," he said.

"I want to be happy, not necessarily win, I want to be happy and I don't want to accept a proposal without being convinced of it, that's what I've always thought," he added.

“That's why if [a club] told me 'today there are no conditions to win, but we want you to create the conditions to win', then I would evaluate it.”
