Jose Mourinho is close to returning to management, it has been revealed.

The former Manchester United manager has been out of work since his sacking in December 2018.

Telefoot says Mourinho is now set to return to football, with claims of contact with Tottenham emerging.

Lyon president Jean Michel Aulas made an offer before the appointment of Rudi Garcia as Sylvinho's replacement.

The OL chief confirmed: "We had quite flattering exchanges by SMS. It's rewarding for everyone. He did not respond to our meeting proposal because he has already chosen another club."
