Sacked Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said on Wednesday that he is “happy not to have a job” at the moment and kept coy about taking the helm at Manchester United, saying that was “a one million-dollar question”.
Mourinho spoke before students at a suburban secondary school in Singapore in conjunction with a scholarship foundation set up by Valencia Football Club owner Peter Lim, who is from the city-state.
Asked by a student United fan whether he would be the next manager of the English Premier League club, Mouri-nho replied: “That’s a one million-dollar question that nobody knows, and I’m the first one not to know.”
The Portuguese also said he was amused by all the media speculation about his next job following his sacking in December. “I read so many different things... Another day it says I go to China, another day it says I go to Italy,” he said.
“I go to Milan and people say I’m going back to Inter. I’m here and probably you’re saying I go to Singapore national team.
“Every day new things are coming, but the reality is that I have no job and at this moment I’m happy not to have a job.”
Since his sacking, Mourinho has been increasingly linked to Louis van Gaal’s job at United.
