Jose Mourinho hopes to become either Lyon or Monaco’s new manager, according to L’Equipe newspaper. The former Chelsea and Manchester United boss is ready to get back into football.

Mourinho was officially replaced at Manchester United on 29 March by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who was handed the permanent contract.

He was previously linked with returning to Real Madrid when Santiago Solari was under severe pressure, though Zinedine Zidane accepted the opportunity of reclaiming the Bernabeu hotseat as his own, despite resigning from the post just ten months prior.

Other top European clubs are believed to have considered the possibility of hiring Mourinho, including Inter Milan – another of his former clubs – as well as Paris Saint-Germain.
