Despite being touted for most of the jobs in Europe Jose Mourinho has stated that he would prefer to work in England. And having being linked with jobs in both Italy and Sapin aas well as England he has decided to clarify his position.

It was thought that he had recieved offers from both Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain but insists he is not tempted by a move to Spain, only Italy or England and out of the two he would prefer England. Talking with daily sports paper O Jogo he stated: "I can say that in a choice between Italy and England, I prefer England,"

He is however only focusing on Porto at the moment, but refused to move out a move in the summer: "I'm not going to hide what I think. New career challenges are coming along and at the moment I can't say what my future will be,"

"The president knows that at the moment I'm only thinking about Porto but he also knows a lot of things are happening around me and that there are very strong incentives that could make me leave at the end of the season.

Saying that "In Football nowadays everything has a price," but he stated that he has had no formal contact with any other club. 'I don't want to speak to anyone, I don't want to meet with club presidents, club representatives or other agents,".
