Jose Mourinho insists that he will only join a club that has a chance of winning important trophies.
Mourinho has been linked with a host of jobs in Europe, including Celtic, Lyon and recently Newcastle.
He has poured cold water on links to the Magpies, for now, as he believes the club is not in a position to challenge at the top end of the table.
"The only thing that I know is what I don't want: I am quite pathological in the sense of I have to play to win," Mourinho told The Coaches' Voice.
"Then, if I don't win, then that's my problem and the players and the club and the structure but I need a project where the feeling is I play to win.
"If somebody gives me a wonderful 10-year contract and the objective of the team is to stay in the first half of the table and if you finish seventh, eighth or ninth, it's perfect, then that's not for me.
"That's my nature. My next [position] is to fight to win".
Mourinho is out of work since leaving Manchester United in December.
