I Don't Want To Leave Inter - Jose Mourinho

Inter coach Jose Mourinho talked about his ambitions for the future after winning his first Scudetto.



Although according to the latest rumours, Real Madrid are very interested in bringing in Jose Mourinho, the Portuguese coach has no intention of leaving Inter after just one season.

The former Chelsea tactician gave an interview to Portuguese daily 'A Bola' in which he talked about where his future lies.

"Some people think I want to leave Inter, but that's not true," he said. "It is true, however, that I want to win titles in the three top leagues: I've won in England and Italy, I'd like to do the same in Spain. It's a career objective, but I have many years to achieve it...

"One of my great strengths is that I don't get nostalgic like other Portuguese people living abroad: I live in England as if I were English, and in Italy as if I were Italian."

On Inter's declared objective of winning the Champions League, Mourinho said, "We didn't win the Champions League because we are inferior to Barcelona, Manchester United and Chelsea: we are in the same group as Arsenal, Milan, Juventus, Bayern, Porto...

"Perhaps there was a misuse of my image and my name as a winning coach in the Champions League, to make the fans dream of victory: but I don't sell dreams and in football there are no miracles."

He then drew up a balance of his first season at the club, which saw him capture the Scudetto last weekend.

"This is the most important victory of my career, because it was the most difficult one," he continued. "I won the Scudetto on my debut in Italian football, as the only foreign coach, in a club that had already won the last three titles.

"I've always coached teams that had potential to grow, while here at Inter I've found a team towards the end of a cycle, with many players who have been first choice for years and who have won several titles: six players over 33, 12 over 30, and just four Italians. In a word, a team I had to push all the way to be able to win something with them."
