Jose Mourinho back to coaching, but its not Man U.. and he lost 8-9

Jose Mourinho is certain he will be managing a club within two months but says the delayed appointment will compromise pre-season preparations.

The 53-year-old Portuguese has been strongly linked with the Manchester United job but speaking from Mexico on Wednesday, he claimed to 'know nothing' about a move to Old Trafford to replace Louis van Gaal.
Mourinho, who was fired as Chelsea manager in December, was back in the dugout on Wednesday in the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City to coach a FIFA Legends team, featuring Ronaldinho and Luis Figo, against a Mexican All-stars side.

Managing a team again, albeit for an exhibition ahead of the FIFA Congress, had whetted Mourinho's appetite for a return to coaching.

'Of course I miss (it),' Mourinho said.
'In July I will be back. So we are in May. May to July is nothing. I keep enjoying my life which I'm doing, keep enjoying my family. But in July I am back.'


Asked when he needs to sign a contract by, the London-based Mourinho responded: 'June 30 - that's fine.'
Manchester United have not denied months of reports that Van Gaal will leave Old Trafford at the end of the season and be replaced by Mourinho, who coached Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Porto around his two stints at Chelsea.

Van Gaal's United future looks bleaker with a fourth place finish in the Premier League now out of the team's hands. To qualify for the Champions League, United needs to beat Bournemouth and rely on Manchester City losing to Swansea on the final day of the season on Sunday.
'I don't know. I know nothing about it really,' Mourinho said, when asked links to United.
