Jose Mourinho has revealed he is considering a move to the Bundesliga as he plots his return to management.

The Portuguese has been without a club since December after being fired by Manchester United.

“I speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian. I don’t exclude anything, not even Germany.”

Mourinho tipped former club Inter to break Juventus’ monopoly on Serie A under former rival Antonio Conte.
