Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho has sparked speculation about his future in Italian football after insisting: "I don't like it and it doesn't like me."
Mourinho has not spoken to the Italian media for a month and was recently fined £35,000 by the Italian Football Federation for criticising officials.
"I am very happy at Inter but not in Italian football," said Mourinho.
The 47-year-old, who left Chelsea in 2007, has made no secret of his desire to return to the English game.
"I always speak with my heart but if I spoke with my heart now about Serie A I would be suspended," added Mourinho.
His comments came on the eve of his side's Champions League quarter-final first leg against CSKA Moscow.
Mourinho's Inter knocked out his former club Chelsea in the last round of the Champions League and are currently top of Serie A.
But his side have seen a healthy lead whittled down to just one point by Roma, to whom they lost 2-1 on Saturday, and three points by AC Milan.
He received a £16,000 fine last month for claiming "everything was done for us not to win" following a 2-0 defeat of AC Milan, a game in which Inter had two players sent off.
Mourinho also said the game had left a "strange taste" in his mouth, adding: "I've realised they won't let us wrap up the championship early".
He subsequently received a three-game touchline ban and was fined £35,000 for "insulting officials" during a game against Sampdoria.
