Mourinho unlikely to manage next season
LONDON • Jose Mourinho has said he does not expect to return to management next season following his dismissal by Tottenham and will wait for the right club with the right culture.
The former Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Manchester United boss was sacked by Spurs last month after 17 months in charge and six days before their 1-0 League Cup final defeat by Manchester City.
Mourinho has said he has "no plans", while he is also set to work as an analyst during this year's European Championship.

MADRID • World No. 1 Ashleigh Barty survived a scare before beating Slovenian Tamara Zidansek 6-4, 1-6, 6-3 in the second round of the Madrid Open yesterday.
The Australian, coming off a Stuttgart Open title win last week, was expected to breeze past the 80th-ranked Zidansek.
However, things did not go her way in the second set before she fought back to clinch the win. The result meant that Barty has 22 wins this year, the most of any player on the WTA Tour.
