Mourinho yearns for English return

27 Dec, 2011

Jose Mourinho says he has his sights set on an eventual return to England - but only once he has made the most of the "great experience" of being at the helm of Real Madrid. The former Chelsea manager has long stated his love of the English game and many observers feel he will ultimately be headhunted to replace Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United after the latter eventually retires.
Mourinho joined Real on a four-year contract in 2010 fresh from delivering a first European Cup for Inter Milan in four decades, having already won the competition with Porto.
Having landed the Spanish Cup in his first season Mourinho has now taken Real to the top of La Liga but he told the BBC on Monday he still dreams of returning for a second spell in the English Premier League.
