Mourinho, who was appearing as a pundit for Qatar-based broadcaster beIN Sports on
its coverage of the Asian Cup, says he still belongs at the top level.
The 55-year-old had not spoken to
the media since his dismissal in December.
"I want to coach. I belong to
top-level football and [that] is where I am going to be," Mourinho said.
"I am too young, I am in
football for a long, long time but I will be 56 in a couple of weeks and am
really too young."
Mourinho said he was proud of what
he achieved at Manchester United, particularly finishing second behind
Manchester City in the 2017-18 season.
He said: "If I tell you for
example that I consider one of the best jobs of my career was to finish second
with ManUnited in the Premier League, you say 'this guy is crazy - he won 25
titles...'
Mourinho will provide punditry for
beIN on Thursday's Asian Cup group match between Qatar and Saudi Arabia, as
well as for Saturday's Premier League game between Arsenal and his former club
Chelsea.
It is understood beIN are paying
Mourinho in excess of £120,000 for his two appearances.
