Could Real Madrid turn to Jose Mourinho again?

Under pressure Real Madrid coach Rafa Benitez will surely have had mixed feelings when news broke last Thursday of Jose Mourinho being sacked by Chelsea.

Benitez’s position has been increasingly questioned during recent weeks — and Mourinho was now quickly added to the local media’s list of potential replacements alongside Madrid’s B team coach Zinedine Zidane.

Madrid-backing sports daily Marca quickly ran a poll which had 48% of 47,662 respondents saying they would support former Madrid coach Mourinho returning to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu immediately to replace Benitez.
