Mourinho Turns Down Jobs, Eyes June Return

By Daily Sports on March 21, 2019

Jose Mourinho says he has turned down “three or four offers” since his departure from Manchester United in December but expects to take up a new position soon.

After winning the EFL Cup, FA Community Shield and Europa League in his two-and-a-half seasons at Old Trafford, the Portuguese coach was sacked following United’s poor start to this season and replaced by caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

“It’s been two and a half months since I’ve been without coaching and I’m already preparing for my next challenge,” Mourinho told BeIN Sports France. “I know exactly what I don”t want, that is why I’ve turned down three or four offers. I know what I want, not the name of the club, but the type of work and the workload. I want to coach a team starting in June, in time for preseason.”

Mourinho, 56, has been a reported target of former clubs Benfica, Real Madrid and Inter Milan in recent months. He was linked with a return to Madrid after the Spanish giants’ recent dismissal of Santiago Solari but the club brought Zinedine Zidane back instead – a move which Mourinho described as “perfect.”

However, Mourinho insisted he is not picky when it comes to his next challenge but is looking for a winning project.

“It doesn’t matter where I go, I want to go to a place where I can still win,” he said. “What sense does it make to have a philosophy of the game without a winning mentality? My best title will be the one I win next.” (ESPN)
