Real Madrid meet top manager target’s camp as return talks intensify – report

As reported just a while back, Jose Mourinho is now seen as the top target to become the next manager of Real Madrid.

With the dressing room in turmoil, Los Blancos see the need to appoint a manager with strong character like the Portuguese tactician in order to restore order before next season.

Building on that, Sky Germany now reports that representatives of Real Madrid met with Mourinho’s camp at the beginning of the week in order to intensify talks over a possible return.

The driving force behind the plans to bring Mourinho back is Real Madrid general director Jose Angel Sanchez.

The 63-year-old is open to returning to the Santiago Bernabeu, where he previously worked between 2010 and 2013, winning La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup during his spell at the club.

However, Mourinho is reportedly demanding full control of the dressing room and significant influence over transfers in order to return.

It remains unclear whether club president Florentino Perez is willing to accept those demands. The relationship between the pair is believed to remain very strong.
