Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho remains determined to return to the Premier League this summer. The Independent on Sunday says reports that he is having second thoughts about leaving Real and returning to England at the end of the season should not be taken too seriously. True, he may have alluded to the possibility, but sometimes Mourinho just enjoys tossing a pebble into the pool for the amusement of seeing the circles spread.

The Special One remains a candidate to succeed Harry Redknapp at Tottenham, while the Chelsea job is also available.
