I fucking hope he somehow manages Real , so I can white knight him and pull these insane mental gymnastics.
Makes no sense, not only has Mourinho declined as a coach, he has never been a Yes-man, and Perez needs a Yes-man who will tolerate the penny-pinching.
No smoke without fire.
Pochettino rejected Real Madrid in the summer, he won't come a year later. The time is just not right for him, he doesn't want another rebuild or the instant pressure the job comes with, without the pieces to make a proper run for it in his eyes.
Meanwhile Florentino has a soft spot for Mourinho and he's been linked with a return for years. CR is gone so the only hindrance left is Ramos and he might be convinced one way or another.

The only thing Real Madrid need is a big volume goalscorer and better depth at the CB position. Mourinho will already have his starters in the backline.
He never dismissed it on the grounds of facing another rebuild. He'd be stupid to do that, it's what he did in all his jobs. He had far too much still to do in London, new ground still to come, still hasn't completed basic European goals. Still not there, but if everything comes together this spring I don't expect he'd have a problem with leaving.
To me he's done with the big jobs until he gains some trust back. He hasn't been to CL 1/4s since 2014. It's not a non-factor.
Didnt he choke against 10-man PSG one of those years, that was 14 or 15, right?
He had it coming... He plays outdated anti-football version and only thinks the short-term solution, can' even control the dressing room. Didn't develop any players, quite the opposite really, players under him regressed. United should get a proper coach who plays attractive football and can develop talents. Trophies will come.
15. In 2014 he lost to Simeone's Atleti pre-Griezmann in semis.
I really, really doubt Perez would risk stirring the pot with Ramos by bringing him in. That appointment would be practically the same as Conte making even less sense. And it'd hike up Hazard's wage demands if he had to work with Jose again.
Nah, like I said yesterday, there are some limits on Jose's options. Even Inter has new management he'd need to convince that he can actually improve upon what Spalletti is doing with that team.
I don't see him managing any big side any time soon.
