Mourinho explained that he wants to sit down with his friend (and president) Florentino Perez at the end of the season to discuss the future. The 50 year-old finds himself 11 points adrift of rivals Barcelona in La Liga, with his best chance of silverware being The Spanish Cup - the final for which is against Atletico Madrid in May.

"I know I am loved by some clubs, especially one" Jose's not so cryptic clue about his thoughts on English clubs, and Chelsea. It seems that the manager will certainly be considering a move back to the English capital, and with Rafa Benitez on his way out in the summer the door seems half open (or is that half shut) for Jose to step in for the 2013/2014 season.
Of course this is a possibility, but I wouldn't count out Manchester United - Sir Alex Ferguson has indicated that as long as his health allows he will remain the Reds manager next season, however following the Champions League tie at Old Trafford Jose Mourinho more than indicated his respect for the club and its manager. I personally think that the Manchester United job is the one Jose wants, and if Ferguson was to retire he would be the favourite to take over at the helm - but he's in a tricky spot with timing as his stint at Real Madrid seems to be coming to a natural end for both, yet the vacancy he wants (Man Utd) may not be there.
Wherever Mourinho goes (or stays) next season will be big news, with 20 trophies and counting to his name I don't think he'll be struggling for offers.

Lets hope and pray that he takes the Manchester United role. Who else could follow sir alex ferguson
