Despite the fact that the new season is just getting started, Jose Mourinho's name is already being associated with the Madrid "Real" club.
Zinedine Zidane's coached "white" team experienced a shocking failure in the start of the UEFA Champions League. In Spain, "Real" is only two points behind the leaders, but the media is already talking about a tragedy.
The older generation of "Real" fans still have great memories of J. Mourinho, although the strategist himself is currently avoiding talk of a possible comeback.
"They are in third or fourth place, right? The gap from the leaders is small, so the situation is really not bad," commented the Portuguese. "Looking only at the table, the results are not bad. They have a match this weekend against the leader Sevilla and they can win. Barca is behind them, and Atletico has only a one-point advantage."
"There are two types of speculation: first, about Zidane, who is one of us, so I know how painful it is when things don't go as you would like. You have to come to terms with it. Zizou has been in football all his life and he knows these situations well.
Second, the media has included my name in the talks and I don't like it. There are problems everywhere, but the second thing is respect," continued J. Mourinho.
When asked if he would accept an offer if the "white" club's seat became available, J. Mourinho added: "I wouldn't want to go back, because they have a coach and you can't work where the position is already taken. You have to talk about the club with respect, but you also can't forget that the coach of this team is not just "someone".
I'm not going to dwell on these talks anymore. I hope he (Zidane) will change the situation as soon as possible."
Journalists close to the Madrid "Real" club claim that Florentino Perez has not even had the slightest thought of dismissing Z. Zidane. This will not change even with several consecutive losses.
