DBasia.news – Real Madrid legend, Predrag Mijatovic, believes nothing is impossible in football, including Jose Mourinho returning to the Santiago Bernabeu. He saw this in Zinedine Zidane’s experience.
“If Zidane returns and I don’t think that will ever happen, why can’t Mourinho return to Real Madrid?” Mijatovic said at Soccerway.
“All managers who have coached Madrid want to come back because they want to improve the things they do while they are at the club. But Madrid has a manager, his name is Zidane and you have to respect that,” Mijatovic added.
Mourinho has remained unemployed since being sacked by Manchester United in December 2018. He was linked with several clubs, but The Special One chose to take a break for a while, waiting for the right offer.
Many people suspect Mourinho is waiting for the opportunity to return to Madrid. The Special One does have a very close relationship with Florentino Perez, President of Los Blancos. Both of them are still in frequent communication, even though they don’t work together at the club anymore.
Mourinho himself had handled Madrid for three seasons since 2010 and managed to present the La Liga title in the 2011/2012 season. The Portuguese coach also broke Barcelona’s dominance by Pep Guardiola in the La Liga competition.
