Football Talk - Mourinho reveals desire to return to England - 16/03/10
Jose Mourinho has reiterated his desire to return to English football ahead of his trip to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea in the Champions League. Mourinho did insist he remains fully committed to Inter, but also admitted that he still wishes to win the La Liga title too.
"I have, as I said before, three things to do in my career - one is to come back to English football; another thing is to win the Spanish championship, because no-one has won Italian, English and Spanish titles; and another one, when I'm old, is to coach my national team. But, for now, I would like to keep winning with Inter,'' said the former Chelsea boss.
Asked what he might have achieved had he stayed with Chelsea, Mourinho said: "I feel sorry but I look forward. I feel sorry because, when I look at the big four teams while I was in England, they (the managers) are all there. Sir Alex Ferguson is here. Arsene Wenger is here. Rafa Benitez is here. I did more than enough to be here. But the decision was made. Chelsea looked forward. I look forward.
"They move on. I move on. I keep winning important things, they keep winning...something...they won an FA Cup!
"The most important thing is the relation we have. No regrets, no big problems. Just respect. In football, coming back to an old team, it's important to feel like I feel. It's one of the most beautiful things in football. They move on, I move on.
"Change one thing? It would be ... I would have left the day after the FA Cup final after my third season. The timing was wrong. I waited three or four more months more and, after that, I left in September and I didn't enjoy my time from then to the day I went to Inter.
"For me, being away from football is too painful. If I had left Chelsea in May, I would have started the next season in a new club and I would not have been without football for six or seven months.''
