Jose Mourinho is keen to get back into football following his sudden departure from Chelsea.

The Portuguese left Stamford Bridge on Thursday after the club revealed there had been a break down in the working relationship between the two parties.

He has been linked with a string of roles, with Sky Sports News reporting on Thursday that he would be heading back to Portugal to work with the national team.

But Mourinho has nothing imminent lined up, although he is hoping for a swift return to work.

"I'm going to enjoy my life, I'm going to wait for the telephone calls," Mourinho told The Times .

"I want to work."
