Portuguese manager ‘uncomfortable’ with Real Madrid speculations – report

As Real Madrid gear up for a summer of change, one of the first things on the agenda could be replacing Alvaro Arbeloa.

While the likes of Jurgen Klopp and Didier Deschamps have emerged as potential candidates, Los Blancos might look for an old guard too, having been linked with a move for Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho was one of Florentino Perez’s favourites during his stint at Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013. He played a key role in overseeing Cristiano Ronaldo’s growth at the club.

Now he has been linked with a sensational return to the Santiago Bernabeu as Real Madrid look for more order and discipline after a couple of tumultuous seasons.
