Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho insists he wants to see out the rest of his contract at the San Siro.

Mourinho, who has admitted he would love to return to the Premier League in the future, has been linked with a move back to England this summer, with cash-rich Manchester City a possible destination.

However, the former Chelsea boss claims he wants to remain at the helm of the reigning Serie A champions for a further two seasons at least.

“I am happy and even in the most difficult moments in adapting, I never had any second thoughts,” Mourinho told Mediaset.

“I don’t avoid comparisons with my previous experiences, I have never hidden and I will never hide that England was different, there’s a different calmness for a coach, footballing-wise and socially a different world for a football man.

“But I am happy. My contract runs out in 2011 and I want to honour it.”

The Portuguese coach also spoke out about his future plans.

He said: “At the end of my career I would want to do two things, first of all coach the Portugal national team, then I would like to go to a country like the United States to help them take a potentially fantastic world of football to the level of other sports like American football or baseball.

“I would like to do this, but I still have to wait a lot.”
