Jose Keen On England Return

REAL Madrid coach Jose Mourinho hopes his next job will be back in the English Premier League "in a couple of years."

The Portuguese left Chelsea in 2007 after winning two league titles and was hired by Madrid in 2010 after a trophy-laden two seasons at Inter Milan.

"I am very, very happy to be in Real Madrid, it is a great experience for me. I believe it is probably the biggest club in the history of football," the 48-year-old Mourinho told BBC yesterday.

"But my passion is England and my next step will be to go back and if possible, go and stay for a long time," said Mourinho, whose Madrid contract expires in 2014. Madrid currently has a three-point lead over Barcelona.

Mourinho was interviewed by Sebastian Coe, the double Olympic middle-distance champion who heads the 2012 London Olympics organizing committee and who was guest editing Radio Four's Today program yesterday.

"Get me a club in a couple of years," Mourinho told Coe, who is a Chelsea fan. "Get me a good club."
