Mourinho's La Liga triumph last season saw him become the first manager to win league titles in Portugal, England, Italy and Spain on top of his two Champions League titles with Porto and Inter Milan.

In an interview with Ronda Ibera Magazine, Mourinho admitted that he is unsure of his destiny when he decides to leave Real Madrid one day.

"From an early age I knew that to progress in my career I had to go to other countries. I knew I needed to travel, to meet new challenges in order to grow," Mourinho said.

"When I started travelling, I aimed for England, Italy and Spain. When I finish up here at Real Madrid, I do not know which path my career will take.

"I'm in a constant struggle with myself. I always try to be the best. More and more, however, I am thinking about others and this is serving me well.

"It is increasingly difficult to coach today. A trainer today cannot be the same as he was 10, 20 or 30 years ago.

"It is an evolving profession. Obligations of a coach go far beyond choosing 11 players, teaching tactics or making changes."

The former Chelsea manager also rued the cost of being a recognised figure in football.

"My son cannot go to college without others knowing who he is. My wife has to tell me to stay in the car while she goes shopping in a store.

"This is the price I have to pay to practice the profession that I love. I have always been linked to football, from the day I was born. I am nearing the age of 50 now, a round number with lots of meaning."
