The source claims there is no doubt over whether he will go to Real Madrid or not... Just when. 'AS' claim to have sources close to the coach who have admitted Mourinho is ready and awaiting his former club to call him up again.
Over the last few months, the former Manchester United coach has been thinking about how to get better at his job after being dismissed by the Red Devils. In fact, a source claims he has been meeting with his former workmates in order to go over what went wrong in other teams he coached.
'The Special One' is therefore making clear that if he does come back, it would be to triumph. In his time in Real Madrid, despite not conquering the longed third Champions League title, he did manage to win LaLiga during the 2011-2012 season and reached three Champions League semi-finals, a tournament where 'Los Blancos' had been struggling for a while.
In the case that the Spaniards don't manage to succeed under Zinedine Zidane, Madrid would be open to Mourinho's return... Although he does have as many admirers as detractors in the Spanish capital.
Meanwhile, the Portuguese are still constantly receiving offers. A team in China already asked about him, and rumours surrounding a possible move to Germany had also been reported. Dortmund had even been pinned as an option... but Mourinho rejected a recent offer because he is still waiting for Real Madrid's signal.
In fact, 'AS' reports that the coach has even thought about the rest of his coaching team. He knows he will eventually get a chance to come back to what was his job from 2011 to 2013 and he wants to be prepared to do so.
