The head coach of Istanbul's "Fenerbahce" club, Jose Mourinho, stated to the sports portal "Corriere dello Sport" that after rejecting the offer from Real Madrid's president Florentino Perez, he started to regret it:

"If you say no to F. Perez, later you start to regret it. He told me: Don't leave now, you have done the hard part, and the good part will be right here. Stay at the 'royal' club."

But I wanted to return to London’s "Chelsea" team after three difficult years in Spain!"

Jose Mourinho worked at Real Madrid from 2010 to 2013, and later at London’s "Chelsea" team from 2013 to 2015.
