Mourinho Linked to Real Madrid Again Following Alonso’s Possible Dismissal

Speculation Surrounds Xabi Alonso’s Position

Recent events have fueled rumors that former Real Madrid manager Mourinho may be in line for a return, particularly if Xabi Alonso faces dismissal after this week’s matches.

Performance Issues and Potential Consequences

Following a disappointing home defeat to Celta Vigo on Sunday, concerns are mounting that a significant loss in the Champions League against Manchester City could trigger Alonso’s exit.

Mourinho’s Response to Speculation

When approached about the possibility of stepping in as a temporary manager at Real Madrid by club president Florentino Perez, Mourinho was curt in his response.

“There’s nothing to discuss; you’ve brought it up,” remarked Mourinho.

“Don’t pose me hypothetical situations. Would it really be easy to turn down Benfica?” he added, referring to his current obligations.

As Benfica prepares to face Napoli in their Champions League clash tonight, Mourinho stated, “I don’t watch Serie A games. I concentrate on the league where I’m employed, and I hardly have any spare time to follow other competitions.”
