Twice UEFA Champions League winner Jose Mourinho will spend the holidays without worries - his career stage at "Manchester United" club ended on Tuesday.
Dismissed from the "Red Devils" club and receiving a compensation of 24 million pounds, J. Mourinho is unlikely to return to football next season, but speculation about his future is already underway.
Some doubt that J. Mourinho will return to top-level clubs, but others believe that his next career stop could once again be the European champion Madrid team "Real".
"Marca" claims that J. Mourinho still maintains good relations with the sports director of "Real" team, Jose Angel Sanchez. There was a telephone conversation between the two men a few days ago, but these relationships do not guarantee anything yet.
The same source emphasizes that Florentino Perez is not inclined to trust J. Mourinho with the team again, especially with the family environment dominating Zinedine Zidane's team.
According to "Marca", J. Mourinho is not in the spotlight of Madrid's "Real" team and he will not be considered even if the season does not go well for Santiago Solari.
If "Real" decides to make changes in the summer, their main target will be Mauricio Pochettino, who spoke with "Real" last summer as well, but signed a new contract with "Tottenham" just before Z. Zidane's departure.
