He told BeIN SPORTS: "I want to coach.

"I am too young, I am in football for a long, long time but I will be 56 in a couple of weeks and am really too young.

"Where I am going to stay is where I belong, I belong to top football. I belong to top-level football and [that] is where I am going to be."

Mourinho insists finishing second last season behind Manchester City and Pep Guardiola was one of his greatest achievements.

He is currently at the Asian Cup working as a pundit and added: "Sometimes we comment on what we see, but we don't know what is behind the scenes and influences what we see.

"I think that is a fundamental thing.

"If I tell you for example that I consider one of the best jobs of my career [was] to finish second with Manchester United in the Premier League, you say 'this guy is crazy - he won 25 titles...'

"But I keep saying this because people don't know what is going on behind the scenes. Sometimes we, on this side of the camera, analyse things with a different perspective."
