In recent days, journalist José Alvarez assured in the show El Chiringuito that “Zizou” was recently contacted by the leaders of Real Madrid with a view to taking over from Carlo Ancelotti next season. “They contacted him a month ago and called him back eight days ago”, he said. And for his part, the 98 world champion would not be against serving a third term in the White House.
Mourinho in the race

According to information from Mundo Deportivo, a return of José Mourinho, at the end of his contract on June 30 with AS Roma, would also have been discussed internally. it must be said that the relationship between Florentino Perez and the Portuguese coach has always been good.
