Jose Mourinho has insisted he wants to move back to England when he has finished his spell at Inter Milan.

The former Chelsea coach took charge at the Giuseppe Meazza in the summer, succeeding Roberto Mancini.

Mourinho has always insisted that he would like to return to the Premier League, but it was expected he would try his luck in Spain or even contemplate international management before looking at England again.

However, the Portuguese tactician has stated he wants to be back in England sooner rather than later.

"I'm in love with the English league and I'll definitely return one day," the former Chelsea manager told Sky Italia, following Inter's 4-0 win over Roma.

"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."

Mourinho, though, added that just because he has outlined his future plans that does not mean he is ready to leave Inter anytime soon.

"I have a contract with Inter. I'm happy with Inter," he said.
