Mourinho rules out retirement for at least 10 years

José Mourinho says he is not thinking about retirement and expects to stay in football for at least another decade, and possibly longer.

'I cannot imagine leaving football'

The Real Madrid coach made the comments in a television interview, saying he cannot picture a day when he steps away from the game. He described football as a permanent part of his life.

Mourinho said he wants to keep winning trophies, adding that collecting more titles remains one of his main goals for the future. He also said the atmosphere inside big stadiums is what he likes most about the sport.

He spoke about walking out in front of 50,000 or 90,000 supporters, and said he had already experienced games played in front of 100,000.

Return to Madrid

Mourinho ended by saying that without football, something would feel incomplete inside him. He has returned to Real Madrid hoping for better days and to end the club's recent league drought.
