SIR BOBBY ROBSON still has no thoughts of retiring and claims there is one more job left in him.

The former Newcastle United boss has been out of work since being sacked at St James' Park in August but, despite celebrating his 72nd birthday last month, he wants to enjoy one last spell in management.

Ideally Robson would have been still in charge of his beloved Magpies and guided the club to its first trophy since 1969 this season before possibly calling it a day in the summer, along with captain Alan Shearer.

Instead, after a disappointing start to the campaign, Robson's days in charge at Newcastle ended on August 30 and he was replaced by Graeme Souness.

Robson, bitter about his departure but not defeated, has refused to turn his back on the sport which he has been such a huge part of for 55 years.

And the ex-England boss, after receiving the Honorary Freedom of Newcastle yesterday, said: "At the moment, I don't have any ideas about when I'll be returning to management. The current season is obviously starting to tail off now but there will be a new beginning soon. May is around the corner and things change and things happen, so I will just wait and see.

"I am not in a hurry to take the wrong job but I am ready to take the right job and I feel that there is another job in me, but what that will be I don't know.

"I'm missing management. It's not only the banter with the players; I'm missing the whole conundrum of management - the daily grind of training, team selection, the involvement. It's a big miss."

Robson also had a word of advice for Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, a friend from their time working together at Barcelona.

Mourinho has been criticised for appearing to gesture at Liverpool fans during the Carling Cup final on Sunday after the Blues grabbed a late equaliser to send the game to extra-time.

Robson said: "It has all gone for him just of late and that is marvellous but sometimes you've got to have a bit of humility and learn how to lose.

"Winning is important and he knows about that anyway but sometimes you won't win, you will lose. Sometimes you've got to learn how to lose.

"I am sure he will learn that and what has occurred over the last couple of weeks will stand him in good stead for the future there is no doubt about that.

"If he is intelligent he will take it on board and he is very intelligent."
