Ex-Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has backed Jose Mourinho to return to Los Blancos as manager again one day.
Mourinho left the club in 2013 to return to Chelsea, however his position is now under threat following an indifferent start to the season for the reigning champions.
Former Liverpool and Inter Milan manager Rafa Benitez is currently in charge at the Bernebeu, however former chief Calderon feels that due to Mourinho and current president Florentino Perez’s relationship, it could lead to a return to La Liga for the under-fire boss.
He told talkSPORT: “It is not a secret that the current Real Madrid president has backed Mourinho many times.
“He likes him a lot and you can’t rule out seeing him again on the bench at the Bernabeu.
“I know it seems strange, but if Benitez doesn’t have a good season and Mourinho gets sacked by Chelsea, I insist you can’t rule out seeing him here again.
”I know that the president tried to have him here instead of Benitez, but Mourinho said he didn’t want it and that it wasn’t the right time to come back.
“But after two or three years I can see him here again – it happened the same with Chelsea, they sacked him but then he came back. In football that is normal.
“The current president has a lot of interest in Mourinho, he backed him a lot during his time at Madrid and Mourinho is his favourite coach.”
