Jose Mourinho has confirmed that he plans to manage in the Saudi Pro League and played down a possible return to Real Madrid.<\/p>\n
Roma coach Jose Mourinho said he fully expects to work in Saudi Arabia one day after his compatriot, Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo, led the way by joining Al-Nasr, with a stream of players subsequently signing for Saudi Pro League teams.<\/p>\n
The Portuguese coach seemed confident about moving to Saudi Arabia during an interview MBC Egypt TV channel, owned by Saudi MBC Group, saying: ‘I will go to Saudi Arabia in some free time, but I am convinced that I will work there. I don’t know when, but I am pretty sure of it.’<\/p>\n
‘I am committed to my work with Roma and I want to give everything to the club until the last day,’ added under-pressure Mourinho after a disappointing start to the season.<\/p>\n
‘No one knows the future, but I will definitely do this (working in Saudi Arabia),’ he said.<\/p>\n

Mourinho, 60, said recently that he had rejected a huge offer from Saudi Arabia in order to stay in Roma for a third season after leading the team to win the Conference League and reach the UEFA Europa League final<\/p>\n
The 60-year-old is expected to leave Roma when his contract expires at the end of the season.<\/p>\n
Asked about a potential return to Real Madrid given that Carlo Ancelotti is also in the midst of contract uncertainty, Mourinho responded: ‘Me at Real Madrid? When you have a super coach, why should you think of another?…I hope that the season goes fantastically and that next season Carlo is still there because I think he is the perfect coach for Real Madrid.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mourinho spent three years with Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013. He won the La Liga title during his time at the Bernabeu.<\/p>\n
