Although he's well known as the former coach of Real Madrid, many might not realize that the capital club were not Jose Mourinho's first team in La Liga.
In fact, prior to becoming the manager of teams like Chelsea, Porto, and Inter, the Portuguese tactician worked as an assistant coach at Real Madrid's arch-rivals Barcelona in the late 90's, first with Sir Bobby Robson, and then, most interestingly, with now-Manchester United coach Louis Van Gaal.
Well, now there are new reports claiming that he could be set to make a return should former president Joan Laporta reclaim his original position at the helm of the Catalan club.
Still, if true, this plan to make a move for him would be interesting for several reasons. First, Mourinho is doing well so far in his second spell at Stamford Bridge. Then there is the issue of his having managed Real Madrid and his outspoken nature did not endear him to Blaugrana fans--and some players--one bit.
But then again, in football, one really never knows, do they?
