Former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has said it is only a matter of time until he returns to manage in the Premier League.

Jose Mourinho, who left Chelsea in 2007, has said he will return to the Premier League

The 49-year-old, who led Real Madrid to La Liga title last season, has always maintained his love of the Blues, but has not ruled out taking the reins at a rival club if it meant a return to the Premier League.

Since leaving Chelsea five years ago, where he won consecutive titles in 2005 and 2006, Mourinho has managed Inter Milan and Madrid, but says his next job is certain to be back in England.

‘I cannot deny what is clear in my mind. After Real Madrid, England, that's for sure. I keep saying the same, I know clearly,’ said the former Porto boss.

Mourinho left Stamford Bridge in 2007, but has been repeatedly linked with a return to the European champions, as well as with the Manchester United job when Sir Alex Ferguson retires.

And the Madrid boss refuses to rule out a move to one of Chelsea’s biggest rivals.

‘In England (I could manage) everyone. I am blue, but I am London blue. I am a professional,' he declared.
