However, Kangyang and the clubs CEO Giuseppe Marotta value Conte more.Sky journalist Mariangela Pira writes: “I can confirm that Mourinho has spoken with Zhang but from what I understand there is no basis for him to return. When you speak about Mous demands, you must always remember that he is not someone who has won a lot since leaving Inter.“From what I was told, Zhang likes Mourinho but there is nothing to be done. I would not be surprised if this was an independent initiative Marotta because they do not respect this kind of hierarchy. They value Conte very much and I also know that he is about to sign. For Marotta it is already done.”

Da quel che mi stato detto: A Zhang Mou piace, non c' niente da fare.Non mi stupirei fosse iniziativa indipendente da Marotta anche perch loro non rispettano questo tipo di gerarchie. Ma stimano molto Conte con cui anche io so si sta per siglare. Per Marotta sarebbe gi fatto— Mariangela Pira (@MariangelaPira) April 4, 2019

Mourinho, who has managed in England, Spain, Italy and Portugal, is understood to be eyeing a return to the dugout with Lyon or Monaco this summer.In February, he said: I can imagine myself as a coach in Ligue 1. I am a man who has worked in four different countries.I like to know other cultures. Working in a new championship would be a fantastic experience.For now Im calm, I try to live better with my family and friends and I work calmly to hope for the opportunity to go back to football.
