LISBON (AFP) - Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said Sunday that he will return to coaching shortly, but refused to reveal for which club or in what country.

The 45-year-old, who left Chelsea last September, recently denied reports he had held talks with Serie A leaders Inter Milan.

"I'm going to start coaching again, in principle shortly. It's a thing that I like doing and I'm going to do," he told the press.

"I don't miss the training sessions. I've never liked running much, that's why I was never a player. I prefer making others run!"

Mourinho, who lifted the Champions League with Porto before guiding Chelsea to two Premiership titles and an FA Cup, is the most sought after coach following his abrupt departure from Chelsea.
