Jose Mourinho indicates a return to Real Madrid but only when contract at Chelsea is up

JOE

With Chelsea languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League, it’s almost certainly been Jose Mourinho’s worst ever season in football management.

The recent home defeat by Bournemouth saw more speculation the Chelsea boss would soon be set to leave Stamford Bridge.

Over in Spain, Rafa Benitez has also been under plenty of pressure at Real Madird.

A recent battering at the hands of rivals Barcelona and their expulsion from the Copa del Rey for fielding an ineligible player has seen many Real Madrid fans point the finger at Benitez.

Unsurprisingly, a few stories have linked Mourinho with a return to the Bernabeu.

When asked about this ahead of a visit to table-topping Leiciester, Mourinho appeared to leave the door open.

Having guided Chelsea to the title last season, Mourinho was rewarded with a contract until 2019. It looks like he’ll be staying put for now… unless the bad results continue, that is.
