Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho has rejected talk
linking him with a return to the Premier League with mega-rich
Manchester City.
The former Chelsea boss, now in charge of Serie A giants
Inter Milan, was reported by a national newspaper to be in the
frame to replace Mark Hughes at Eastlands.
With City now under the control of the Abu Dhabi United Group
there had been suggestions that the former Blackburn boss' position
could be under threat.
But chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak insisted on Monday that there
were no plans to replace Hughes and that he would be given more
money to spend in the January transfer window.
Mourinho enjoyed great success with Chelsea after moving to
England from Porto, before parting company with the Stamford Bridge
club in September last year.
He spent several months out of the game, being linked with a
number of leading jobs, before eventually joining Inter in the
summer following Roberto Mancini's departure.
And while the Portuguese tactician makes no secret of the
impression left on him by the Premier League, he is focused solely
on his role at the San Siro.
Mourinho told Sky Sports: "Everybody knows I love English
football, but everybody also knows I am Inter Milan coach."
