ROME – Jose Mourinho said on Sunday that he intends to return to the Premier League when his time as Inter Milan coach comes to an end.
“I’m in love with the English league and I’ll definitely return one day,” the former Chelsea manager told Sky television after his side’s 4-0 win over Roma, while also denying media reports linking him to Liverpool. “I think that’s what I want to do after Inter.Everyone says that I want to go to Spain, that I want to be the coach of my national team.”It’s not true.I want to return to England after Inter.”However, the 45-year-old Portuguese also said he had no immediate plans to move on.”I have a contract with Inter.I’m happy with Inter,” he said.Mourinho led Chelsea to the Premier League title in 2005 and 2006 after inspiring unfancied Porto to Champions League glory in 2004.Inter’s win gave the scudetto table a more familiar feel after the success of some of the league’s minnows that briefly saw Udinese, Catania and Napoli heading the standings earlier in the day.Udinese are second after coming back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Lecce while Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho scored twice to maintain AC Milan’s revival in a 3-0 win over 10-man Sampdoria.Catania triumphed 2-0 in the Sicilian derby against Palermo, to go level with Udinese on points alongside Napoli, who beat Juventus 2-1 on Saturday.Roma welcomed back club captain and talisman Francesco Totti and Brazil defender Juan to their combined presence did nothing to improve Roma’s miserable season.Mourinho was delighted with what he witnessed.”Was that the best we’ve played this season? Yes!” he enthused.”Like we played in the Supercup but this time for the whole match, or rather 80 minutes because the last 10 minutes wasn’t really a match any more.”Nampa-Reuters”I think that’s what I want to do after Inter.Everyone says that I want to go to Spain, that I want to be the coach of my national team.”It’s not true.I want to return to England after Inter.”However, the 45-year-old Portuguese also said he had no immediate plans to move on.”I have a contract with Inter.I’m happy with Inter,” he said.Mourinho led Chelsea to the Premier League title in 2005 and 2006 after inspiring unfancied Porto to Champions League glory in 2004.Inter’s win gave the scudetto table a more familiar feel after the success of some of the league’s minnows that briefly saw Udinese, Catania and Napoli heading the standings earlier in the day.Udinese are second after coming back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Lecce while Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho scored twice to maintain AC Milan’s revival in a 3-0 win over 10-man Sampdoria.Catania triumphed 2-0 in the Sicilian derby against Palermo, to go level with Udinese on points alongside Napoli, who beat Juventus 2-1 on Saturday.Roma welcomed back club captain and talisman Francesco Totti and Brazil defender Juan to their combined presence did nothing to improve Roma’s miserable season.Mourinho was delighted with what he witnessed.”Was that the best we’ve played this season?
