LAGOS MARCH 14TH (URHOBOTODAY)-Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said on Sunday that he had rejected several offers of work since leaving Chelsea for the second time .
Mourinho who said he is happy to wait until the end of the season before making his next move, disclosed that he hopes to be back to work by July.
He described media speculation about his future as “lies”.
“I was lucky enough to have good options since I left Chelsea in December,” Mourinho told BT Sport.
“Yes, I was lucky enough to have not just options, but good options, but I made a decision to wait calm in my corner, not disturbing, just waiting, reading a few lies, listen to a few lies.
“The reality is that I want to work and normally July, mid-July, new pre-season starts and somewhere I want to be there.”
