English publication Daily Mirror reports that Real Madrid will make a shock move for former manager Jose Mourinho as Zinedine Zidane’s replacement.The Spanish giants are facing the risk of being bundled out of the UEFA Champions League by German side Wolfsburg after going down 2-0 in the first leg fixture in Germany.
WATCH: Zidane reacts to the loss in Germany:
Los Blancos now need to win by three goals at the Santiago Bernabeu on April 12 to proceed to the semi-finals of the European competition. The Champions League is the only trophy that the Madrid giants had a high chance of winning this season after being suspended from the Copa del Rey, and trailing their bitter rivals Barcelona in the race for La Liga title. The Spanish club is now reportedly looking for Zinedine Zidane’s replacement, and their former boss Jose Mourinho (below) has been earmarked as the best candidate for the job..jpg)
The Portuguese tactician has been without a club since partying ways with Chelsea on December 17, 2015. Just like he did with The Blues in 2013, the 53-year-old could make a sensational return to the Santiago Bernabeu for a second stint.
Mourinho’s achivements with Real Madrid:
1. Won La Liga in 2011/12
2. Won Copa del Rey in 2010/11
3. Won Supercopa de Espana in 2012
As Manchester United continue to drag their feet in the chase for Mou’s signature, Real Madrid could take advantage by making a suprise move for the well-travelled and experienced manager. With the reports linking Van Gaal out of Old Trafford fading with every win the Dutchman registers at the club, Jose Mourinho could lose his patience and opt for a trip back to Spain.
