Jose Mourinho starts flirting with Paris Saint-Germain

Darragh Murphy

Jose Mourinho doesn’t exactly have a great reputation for long-term stays at clubs.

The Portugal native has never been in a job longer for longer than 39 months and while he’s previously indicated a desire to remain Manchester United boss for as long as 15 years, he’s now admitted that he will not retire at Old Trafford.

The 54-year-old is enjoying an grand start to his sophomore season as Red Devils boss but Mourinho will not be content to see out his career at his current club as he’s admitted that there are certain goals he still wants to accomplish elsewhere.

Speaking with Telefoot, Mourinho confirmed that he will not end his management career at United.

“The only thing I can say is that I am still a coach with worries, ambitions, desires to do new things,” he said.

“I’m sure I will not finish my career in Manchester.”

Having already won league titles in England, Italy, Spain and Portugal; Mourinho has dropped a hint that he would be eager to manage Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 before he calls time on his managerial career.

“The other day my son decided to go and watch a match in Paris rather than Manchester,” he added.

“Why Paris? Because, right now, Paris has something special.

“There’s a magic about the place, youth and quality. It’s fantastic.”
