Jose Mourinho is keeping an eye on the situation at Tottenham despite being confident that he could secure a return to Real Madrid.
Mourinho, who hasn't managed since being sacked by Manchester United in December 2018, has been linked with the managerial position at Tottenham, where Mauricio Pochettino's future is uncertain.
As reported by The Sun, Tottenham's options would be limited if Pochettino was to depart, which would boost Mourinho's chances of getting the job.
Tottenham are languishing in 14th place in the Premier League and have won just one of their last four games in all competitions.
Mourinho is also intrigued by the possibility of returning to Real, who he managed between 2010 and 2013.
Zinedine Zidane has endured difficulties during his second spell at the club and Mourinho would be open to a return to The Bernabeu.
It has been suggested that if Zidane leaves Real could turn their attention to Pochettino, which would pave the way for Mourinho to become Tottenham boss.
Mourinho has also been linked with the manager's job at Tottenham's bitter rivals Arsenal.
