Jose Mourinho on Wednesday admitted that he wants to move to Spain to try to win a La Liga title.

“It hasn’t been easy coming to Italy but since I’ve been at Inter no one has been more of a fan than me,” he said. “My dream is to win three championships in Europe: I’ve won in England with Chelsea, I’ll do my utmost to win in Italy and then I want to also win in Spain.”

But in his homeland with FC Porto he landed European honors as well as domestic success, claiming both the Champions League and UEFA Cup as well as two titles and the Portuguese Cup.
