Mourinho wants to coach for as long as Wenger

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho believes he can emulate Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger by coaching into his late 60s.

Mourinho will face his old rival Wenger for the last time in an Arsenal match when the Gunners visit Old Trafford today.

Mourinho's longest managerial stint at any club was his first spell at Chelsea, which lasted for three years and three months.

He spent three years at Real Madrid and two years each at Porto, Inter Milan and in a second spell at Stamford Bridge.

Wenger is 68 and will step down at the end of the season after almost 22 years with the Gunners.

Asked if he could emulate the Frenchman's longevity, Mourinho said: "For sure. I will have to change clubs because you (media) don't allow me to stay here!
"To stay a manager, to have four or five years to try to get a trophy and to improve the team, I don't think you allow that any more."
"At this moment, there isn't anything around the corner and I don't want to do anything different to what I am doing now."
