Mourinho: 'I will wait for the right club'

Former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has said that he is "hungry" to return to management, but he is waiting for the right offer to come along.

The 56-year-old has been out of work since being sacked by United in December following the club's worst ever start to a Premier League campaign.

Mourinho has been linked with numerous lucrative jobs since then, including an offer from a Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande to become the best-paid manager in the world.

A return to the dugout is on the cards for the Portuguese, but he is happy to bide his time.

"I am hungry to get back, but I will wait for the right club, for the right project," he told Sky Sports News.

"In the meantime, I am doing things I like to do. I prefer to work, but I like other sports and this is a good opportunity to enjoy."

Mourinho won the EFL Cup and Europa League during his two-and-a-half seasons with United.
