Portuguese tactitician Jose Mourinho provided more insight into his post-Fenerbahce future plans.

Fenerbahce boss Jose Mourinho has once again reiterated his desire to coach a national team as he discussed his future away from the Turkish club. 

The 61-year-old joined the Yellow Canaries this summer after being months out of the job following his sack at Roma. He promised commitment to fans of the Super Lig side with his “Your shirt is my skin” statement but has been very welcoming to conversations around a future after Fenerbahce. 

What Mourinho said 

His contract with Fenerbahce expires in the summer of 2026, and he has stated that he desires a return to the Premier League at the end of his term

During an interview with the Italian publication Corriere dello Sport, the Portuguese spoke about his openness to return to Serie A, and how he has not caught up with the affairs of the Giallorossi since he was fired. 

However, he restated his desire to shepherd a national side in the near future. "I’ve never watched Roma play again, but I’ve watched Inter,” the former Real Madrid boss said. 

'The Special One' Jose Mourinho

“I want to play a European Championship or a World Cup and unite a country around a team, as I have already done many times with the clubs. I want to do it for football and what this sport represents. It will be incredible."
