The former Chelsea boss has been out of work since leaving Stamford Bridge in September, but has been linked with several top European clubs - including Barcelona - and is preparing for a return to the top.
"For the time being I am studying, but next year... Italy or Spain," Mourinho said in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport.
"But then I would like to return to England and end my career as the national coach of Portugal."
The 45-year-old has nothing definite in place as yet and will only agree to join a club which fully supports his vision.
"(I will choose) whoever comes to me with a firm offer, (but) I would only go to a club that believes in my project, who believes I am the ideal man," he said.
"I am free, I don't have pre-contracts or a 'gentlemen's agreement I want to coach, I am working with a friend of mine on a computer programme that compiles my personal archive, player cards, notes on rivals, in preparation (for a return to coaching)."
Mourinho, who won the Premier League twice with Chelsea, spoke of England as a second home and praised the Football Association for appointing Italian Fabio Capello as manager.
"If one day I'm ever president, which will never happen, I would immediately choose Capello as coach," Mourinho said.
