David Beckham hopes to see Jose Mourinho back in Premier League

David Beckham thinks Jose Mourinho is an incredible manager

David Beckham hopes Jose Mourinho will be back in the Premier League before long following his sacking by Chelsea.

Mourinho's second spell at Stamford Bridge ended on Thursday, with the club sitting 16th in the Premier League following nine defeats this season.

Former Manchester United, Real Madrid and England midfielder Beckham says Mourinho is still "one of the best" managers in football, and insists he is good for the English game.

Beckham said: "Unfortunately this is how football is but there is no disputing Jose is one of the best managers in football.

"He won the league last year and had virtually the same squad this year so it's obviously surprising to see their league position. But I love Jose. I think he is an incredible manager, a great person and he's passionate about the game.

"I hope he comes back to the Premier League quickly because the English public love him, the fans love seeing him on the sidelines, they love his character so it's a shame to see him leave but Chelsea are a great club.

"They'll move on quickly I'm sure. Roman is passionate about the team, so they'll move on pretty quickly I'm sure."

Asked whether he thought Jose could be in the frame for a move to PSG or Manchester United manager, Beckham said: "We'll see."

When asked if he could see Jose at Old Trafford, Beckham said: "It would be disrespectful for me to even mention it to be honest because Manchester United already have a manager and that is the way it will continue until people decide otherwise. But right now it would be disrespectful of me to even comment on that."
