Mourinho expects to return to coaching as early as this summer

José Mourinho has been out of work for almost three months since he was sent off as Roma's head coach in mid-January. He is now in his homeland watching Benfica, Sporting and Vitoria Setúbal play, and the Special One himself does not rule out that he could end up in the Portuguese championship after his enforced leave:

"Can I link one of these clubs with my future? With the past, yes. Only God knows what my future will be. I live near Lisbon. To get to the Estadio da Luz and José Alvalade. [the home stadiums of Benfica and Sporting respectively - note], 20 minutes, and I'm here.

If I could coach even tomorrow, I would have done it by now. I feel empty when I'm not coaching. I will definitely come back this summer and try to make a better decision," Mourinho told Record.
