Jose Mourinho has revealed that he is taking lessons in German ahead of making a return to management in the near future.
The 56-year-old has been out of work since being dismissed by Manchester United in December 2018 following the club's worst start to a Premier League season in 29 years.
Since leaving Old Trafford, Mourinho has engaged in punditry work on Sky Sports News, and recently admitted that he missed being in the dugout.
Reflecting on when exactly he will make a return to management, the Portuguese told AS: "It will be when it is. On Sunday, I'll go to my job on Sky with Chelsea on. I do it once a month, I don't want to do it every day. I enjoy it because I can offer a different perspective having been on the bench.
"Now, I am in German classes in case one day I end up there or so I can speak one day in this language for a Champions League game. It will be my sixth language."
Mourinho has managed in his native Portugal, England, Italy and Spain, and is fluent in all four of those languages as well as French.
The two-time Champions League winner has been heavily linked with a return to Real Madrid following Los Blancos' indifferent start to the 2019-20 campaign under Zinedine Zidane.
