is sure he will return to management, but the former  boss is waiting for a job that will make him 'happy'.

The 55-year-old, who was sacked by United in December, is currently working as a pundit on BeIN Sports alongside former Sky hosts Richard Keys and Andy Gray.

Speaking as part of the broadcaster's  coverage — which also featured former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink on the pundits' panel — Mourinho claimed he was enjoying working for the media.

He said: 'First of all, I'm happy with these three weeks. I'm happy with this experience, I'm going to have other experiences that normally I cannot have.

'I was already invited to go to a super ice hockey match in Russia which is something that I'm going to do for the first time. I'm really happy with it.

'But I know me, and I know that by the end of March I am struggling a little bit with my happiness. I know my natures.'

Asked if he will work in England again, Mourinho added: 'I don't know, it depends. As I was saying, I will analyse things. I don't like to speak about it, but I refused already three options because I didn't feel it is what I want.

'I am going to be calm in this. The more time I have, the better I can prepare. I always say that my arrival at Inter was perfect. I left Chelsea by November, December. By the end of February, I signed my contract with Inter. From February until June I was preparing myself for that job.

'[It was an] extreme situation where in four months I learned the language that is still the language, a part of Portuguese, that I speak more fluently because I really studied for that. I studied the club, I studied the opponents, I studied the league. I was preparing myself for that.

'The time that I am without a job in football, I am going to prepare myself for the next, but the next must be something that makes me really happy with a challenge.

'Apart [from] that, I enjoy a little bit of my life, I see the other side. I am really enjoying what we're doing, a couple of days ago in the Asian Cup.'
