Jose Mourinho has confirmed that he plans to return to England once his time at Fenerbahce is over - and has named the type of club he wants to manage.

Mourinho is currently in his first season as manager of Fenerbahce, having signed a two-year contract with the Turkish Super Lig club following the Champions League final in June.

Their European form has been strong, with the 1-1 draw against Manchester United on Thursday meaning that last season's domestic runners-up have collected five points from their three Europa League group stage games thus far.

In the league, Fenerbahce sit fourth and are eight points behind leaders Galatasaray, but do have a game in hand.

Speaking after the United draw, Mourinho has revealed his intention to return to English football 'in two years' - but not to a club that you might expect.

After a fiery post-match interview that saw the Portuguese manager criticise the referee after being sent off, Mourinho told reporters: "When I leave Fenerbahce, I go to a club that doesn't play UEFA competitions.

"So if any club in England at the bottom of the table needs a coach in two years, I'm ready to go. And I'm not going to say anything more about it."

Whether his comments were influenced by his feelings towards UEFA referee Clement Turpin - who sent him off for his reaction to Fenerbahce not being awarded a penalty - is perhaps a topic for debate, but Mourinho made his opinion known on the Frenchman in his opening remarks.

"He told me something incredible," he began. "He told that, at the same time, he could see the action in the box and my behaviour on the touchline.

"I congratulate him because he's absolutely incredible. His peripheral vision. During the game, 100mph, he had one eye on the penalty situation and one eye on the bench and on my behaviour. So that's the explanation given. That's why he's one of the best referees in the world.

"I watched the [penalty] incident. I do not speak about the incident."
