The Portuguese has turned down the likes of Monaco, Schalke and AC Milan as he awaits a chance to return to Santiago Bernabeu
Jose Mourinho wants to return to Real Madrid, sources tell Goal, as the Portuguese coach has already turned down a number of job offers since departing Manchester United.
Mourinho departed Old Trafford last December as he was sacked following a tumultuous start to the Premier League campaign.
He has since been featuring as a pundit while awaiting his next job, but sources tell Goal that he would be very interested if Real Madrid were to come calling.
Between May and September, Mourinho turned down approaches from Monaco, Lille, Wolfsburg, Schalke and AC Milan.
Mourinho, who has been learning German, had also been open to a move to Tottenham earlier this year, as he believed Real Madrid would make a move to bring in Mauricio Pochettino following the dismissal of Santiago Solari.
However, that possibility ended as soon as Madrid made the decision to bring in Zinedine Zidane, thus ending rumours of Pochettino leaving London.
Now, Mourinho is interested in the Real Madrid job should the club opt to make a move to remove Zidane as criticism has mounted.

Not Mourinho, Rodrygo, Vinicius and the other young stars will be destroyed and transfered to other teams. Better go trophyless for 3 seasons and have future superstars than win trophies in 2 years then become like Man U.

Even if we sack Zidane we'll rather go to Asene Wenger not Mourinho

I don't know why we quickly appoint blame to people while under our nose the same problem exist. Zidean also sold some players and will not want to use . James went to Bayern and just return.. Bale is yet to convince the coach. There best goal keeper was changed for Couitouos. Benzema is his country man and is now a favourite in Zidean's team.... let's leave sentiment aside and realize to be a coach you have to use the material you have rightly or wrongly. This is football...players go and come

Pachetino will potentially bottle a chance to join Madrid ...Jose can rebuild a team which will be willing to support him for a few seasons though
