Blackburn Rovers boss Sam Allardyce is keen to see Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho return to England.

Allardyce has been critical of English clubs for appointing foreign coaches, but he would make an exception for the Portuguese.

Allardyce said: "Jose talks about coming back to the Premier League because I think, deep down, he misses it and I'd like to see him back.

"We're the best League and it's attracted the best coaches and as an Englishman it makes your job more difficult, but that's what you do it for - the challenge against the best. You like to see characters like Mourinho. It makes the Premier League healthier."
