Jose Mourinho Says His Holiday Will Be Over In July

Former Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, has hinted that his holidays will be over by July, but he never revealed the club that he will be coaching in the summer.

The former Real Madrid manager was relieved of his duty at the Bridge last December due to poor

results and since been persistently linked with Louis van Gaal’s job as Manchester United manager.

"In July I will be back," Mourinho told AP. "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."

"Of course I miss it."

He does hold some concerns that a late appointment will mean that he does not have full control over preparations for the campaign ahead.

"It's difficult because when you get a new club in this period normally the clubs have already done their work," he said.

"I'm not the Chelsea manager but I organised the Chelsea pre-season in many aspects because I did that 10 months ago."

"Clubs always have their commercial, marketing departments involved in everything. When a new manager arrives in May, June it's very difficult to touch in some points but we know that."

"Scouting is done during the year. We know everybody, so it's just a question of trying to choose the players that your team needs."

The ex-Real Madrid boss, who was speaking in Mexico after coaching a FIFA legends team to a 9-8 defeat against a Mexican All-Star outfit, claimed to know nothing of a potential switch to Manchester United.

"I don't know. I know nothing about it really,” he said. “I don't have a club and I was waiting for these guys [the FIFA Legends] to win the match to give me a hand but because I lost the match it's even more difficult to get a club."
