JOSE MOURINHO has joked he could become the manager of MILLWALL after exclaiming “it’s just across the bridge from my house!”.
The Special One has made no secret of his desire to return to English football one day, having managed three clubs in the Premier League.
Mourinho enjoyed two spells in London with Chelsea, where he won three Premier League titles.
The Portuguese boss then led Manchester United to Europa League glory.

Mourinho is now in Turkey with Fenerbahce, having also managed Roma since leaving Spurs in 2021.

He continued: “I’m never going to a team fighting relegation. It’s too hard.

“It’s more difficult than playing for titles. It has to be very hard emotionally because it’s something that changes lives.

“My family lives in London. London is home so one day I have to be back unless no one wants me.
“But don’t get me wrong, for the next two years no one will take me from Fenerbahce.”
