Real Madrid's Mourinho ponders Premier League move - 'I know in England I am loved'

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has reiterated that he could return to the English Premier League.

The Portuguese tactician and his Madrid side were knocked out of the Champions League at the semi-final stage by Borussia Dortmund 4-3 on aggregate on Tuesday night despite winning the second leg 2-0 leaving him to ponder his future in the management game.

"I know in England I am loved. I am loved by the fans, I am loved by the media, they treat me in a fair way, criticising me and giving me credit when I deserve it," he said.

"I know I am loved by some clubs, especially one.

"In Spain the situation is a bit different because some people hate me.

"I didn't make a decision because I have a contract, but more than the contract, the respect I have for the club and the president.

"I want to finish the season, I want to try to win the (Copa del Rey) final, I want to try to finish second (in La Liga) and at the end of the season I will sit with Florentino Perez, my president, my friend, and decide the best for me.

"It is difficult to make a decision because I like the club, I like the president, we made a fantastic team that is ready to make big things, so it is hard.

"I need to honest and fair. At the end of the season I will speak."
