JOSE MOURINHO cannot imagine retiring and believes he could still be managing in his 70s.
And the Special One has had a pop at his old rival Pep Guardiola by ruling out ever taking a sabbatical.

Mourinho, 63, returned to Real Madrid this summer for a second spell and signed a three-year contract.
But the Portuguese has revealed in his new Netflix documentary, Mourinho, that he has plenty of fuel in the tank.

Speaking in the doc, Mourinho said: “I cannot even imagine when I am going to stop my life in football.
“I say 10 more years, but maybe more than 10. It’s fun. It was, it is and will always be fun.

“I want to win more titles. I want to win new titles. I want to repeat titles.
“I want to do it in places where I have never been. I want to do it in places where I did before.
“My world is to walk in a football stadium with 50,000 or 90,000 [fans]. I had 100,000. That is my world.
“Without football, there is not something complete in me.

“But I don’t think it is an obsession. I don’t feel it as an obsession.
“It is just when you reach a certain level, you want to stay there forever.”
Mourinho has been in management since 2000, when he was placed in charge of Benfica.
The Special One’s new doc charts his rise from there, including a fiery three years at Real Madrid from 2010 to 2013.
Mourinho repeatedly clashed with Guardiola, who was managing Barcelona, during that period.
Pep ended up taking a break from football after leaving Barca in 2012 and took up the reins at Bayern Munich a year later.
But Mourinho has vowed he will never do the same, as taking time out from coaching would be a sign of weakness.
He said: “Some guys, they need a sabbatical – which is something that I hate. I hate that word.
“For me, sabbatical means weakness. Don’t speak with me about sabbaticals.
“I never need a rest. I will have a rest when he (Mourinho points to the sky) decides to say: ‘Come up’.”
