Mourinho speaks out on supposed Real Madrid interest | OneFootball

José Mourinho’s name would be Florentino Pérez’s preferred choice to take charge of Real Madrid, according to information from The Athletic.

The Portuguese coach, however, denied any contact from Real’s board regarding a return to the Santiago Bernabéu during a press conference this Friday (1).

"No one from Real Madrid has spoken to me. That I can guarantee," the Portuguese said categorically, in response to the press’s persistence.

With these words, Mourinho is trying to calm tensions at a time when rumors of a return to Real are intensifying as the end of the football season approaches.

The coach used his vast experience to play down the media noise.

He recalled that, after so many years at the top level of football, he knows perfectly well how the media machinery and transfer rumors work. "We’re used to these things," he concluded, putting the matter to rest.
