Jose Mourinho hints at returning to former club

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has hinted that in the next football season he could return to coach Inter Milan or Chelsea.

Mourinho is under pressure in Spain although his side have reached the Champions League quarterfinals as his team continues to trail behind Barcelona in La Liga.

“I have an adventurous spirit and do not know what will happen next season,” he was quoted as saying by Xinhua.

“It’s not easy to choose a new destination after working in England, Portugal, Italy and Spain. Maybe I could return to somewhere I’ve already been. Watch out for surprises.”

Mourinho has been linked with potential returns to Inter and Chelsea although the Nerazzurri would be more likely considering he was fired by Roman Abramovich.

The self-claimed Special One won the Treble with the Nerazzurri in 2010 before walking away to take on the Real Madrid challenge.
