Jose Mourinho Breaks Silence Amid EPL Return Rumour

Roma manager Jose Mourinho has officially addressed the rumour that he could return to the Premier League this season.

Following Rafael Benitez's dismissal at Everton earlier this week, Mourinho emerged as a potential candidate for the position despite only joining Roma at the start of the campaign.

Sky Sports seemingly confirmed that the Portuguese tactician was being considered by the Toffees, along with ex-Chelsea boss Frank Lampard and Derby County manager Wayne Rooney, among others.

Mourinho has now answered the suggestion he could be on his way back to the Premier League, saying he is committed to his current job in Italy.

"Right now I wouldn't change my job here at Roma with another one," he said, according to Goal.  

"I gave my world to Roma for three years and I feel this is my project."

It has been a mixed return to Italian football for the former Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid and Inter Milan boss, whose Roma side have won just 11 of their 22 matches in Serie A so far in this campaign.
