Jose Mourinho gives timeline for return to management after Manchester United sacking

Mourinho has been linked with a return to former clubs Real Madrid and Inter Milan, as well as a potential stint in charge of the Portuguese national team

Jose Mourinho is aiming to return to management this summer ahead of the 2019-20 season, but has given no hints as to where he will be based.

Mourinho has been linked with a return to former clubs Real Madrid and Inter Milan, as well as a potential stint in charge of the Portuguese national team, since he was sacked by Manchester United in December.

On the latest of his pundit appearances, Mourinho told DAZN Espana when asked about how he would handle Eden Hazard at Chelsea: “In this short phase of my life, which I hope is only until June, I’m more concerned about what others would do than what I would do.”

Mourinho added that Hazard has the talent and “personality” to success at Madrid in the future.

“Does he has the talent to play for Real Madrid? He does. Does he have the personality to put on a ‘super-heavy’ shirt and play in front of the fans at the Bernabau? Yes, he has the personality.”
