Jose Mourinho has expressed his desire to return to the "top level of football" after being sacked by Manchester United last month.
The Portuguese was relieved of his duties two-and-a-half-years after arriving at Old Trafford.
Mourinho has since been linked with Real Madrid and Inter Milan, and speaking on beIN Sports, he confirmed a return to management was inevitable.
"I want to coach," he said while commenting on the ongoing Asian Games.
"I am too young [to retire], I am in football for a long, long time but I will be 56 in a couple of weeks and am really too young.
"Where I am going to stay is where I belong, I belong to top football. I belong to top-level football and that is where I am going to be."
