Slightly more info:
I follow the English League more than the Spanish League. I would like to go and work there. I don't see myself in the Premier League because I wouldn't go to just any team; I would like to go to one that aspires to big things and there are a lot of coaches there.
My big goal is the Premier League, we’re working on that. There may be one or the other option. There were several interesting enquiries last year, including from there, but that would have come too soon.
Rúben Amorim will not be Chelsea's next manager. The Sporting coach is focused on the Alvalade project and believes he can still reach the Champions League qualification places.
I really like being here, I’ve seen many coaches move to other championships and they weren’t happier. This is an important factor. I’m not looking for anything, I value what I have and not what is said. I’ve had contact with other clubs, Sporting knows, but I want to stay. If I have to leave, either because I’ve been pushed by white handkerchiefs or because I’ve gone to another club, it will happen naturally. I won’t be the one to open the door, Sporting deserves respect.
If I have to go, I will. If I want to go, I tell the president, Hugo Viana, and I will, but I already said: I want to fulfill the contract, I have very clear objectives for what I want to do. Anyone who wants me will have to pay the clause because that’s my way of doing things.
