Ricardo Carvalho has revealed he will discuss his Chelsea future with the club after he returns from Euro 2008.

The 30-year-old Portugal defender also admitted he would like to work again with former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, who has just taken over at Inter Milan.

Carvalho said: "I would love to be coached by Mourinho again.

"I have a contract with Chelsea. But you never know - sometimes a challenge is good for a player. I will speak with Peter Kenyon after Euro 2008."

He said he wanted to concentrate on Portugal's progress in Austria and Switzerland before focusing on his club future.
