Mourinho: I will return shortly

Jose Mourinho has declared that he expects to confirm his return to football management in the near future.

The former Chelsea manager is expected to resuming his stellar coaching career during the close season and suggested that a deal will be announced imminently.

"I'm going to start coaching again, in principle shortly," Mourinho said. "I have decided I will be next season.

"I now miss the training sessions and the contact with the players. The moment to return has arrived."

With Barcelona having appointed Josep Guardiola last week, Milan is Mourinho's most likely destination with both city giants having been strongly linked with his services.

Although Claudio Ranieri has earned plaudits for taking Juventus to third place in Serie A in their first year back in the top-flight, it is not inconceivable that he could be replaced by the Portuguese coach once more.

“It's clear Ronaldo is still unhappy. This is postponing the inevitable. Ronaldo will be a Real Madrid player in 2009. Fair play to Fergie because he is stubborn but there's only one winner in the end here.”
