Jose Mourinho has challenged Premier League clubs to show they really want him after reiterating his desire to come back to England.

The self-styled 'Special One', who took the Premier League by storm during his three years as Chelsea boss, is constantly being linked with a return.

Asked if a return to Stamford Bridge was possible, Mourinho told BBC Radio Five Live: "I will go where people really want me and, when that moment arrives, they show me they really want me. But I have to repeat always this: I am at Real Madrid. I like very much to be [there]."

I want one day to be back in English football, yes. I always said that.

He added: "I want one day to be back in English football, yes. I always said that."

Mourinho also revealed his success was partly down to his ability to immerse himself in a club in the same manner as a supporter. "When I go to a club, I wear the shirt, I feel the shirt like it's my first one or my last one," he said.

"I feel the fans as part of myself. I create eternal links with fans. I go to play against Chelsea and I feel [it], I go to Italy and I feel [it]. I work for the clubs, I work for the people that trust me, and of course the owners and the directors, but the clubs are the fans.

"For me, it's one of my qualities. I become immediately one of them and I feel that I am one of them with a privileged position to fight for the club and to try to bring to all of them happiness."
