BT Sport Journalist Claims Jose Mourinho Will Return To Management In July
Jose Mourinho has confirmed that he will return to management in July, in an interview with BT Sport journalist Matt Smith.
The 53-year-old was sacked for the second time by Chelsea in December, and has since been the favourite to replace the struggling Dutchman Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford, who now sees his side on the verge of Europa League elimination at the hands of Liverpool after a 2-0 first leg defeat on Thursday night.
Speaking in Singapore last month, the Special One hinted that he would rather come back into management in the summer than take over mid way through this season.
And according to BT Sport journalist Matt Smith on Twitter, Jose Mourinho has revealed that he is set to begin his new role from the month of July.

The Portuguese manager is likely to be given a huge transfer kitty, and Italian press reports that he has already begun scouting potential signings for the Red Devils.
