Madrid open to manager's return

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has not ruled out the possibility of Jose Mourinho returning to the Bernabeu one day and maintained the Portuguese possesses the right attributes to lead a squad full of superstars.

Perez claimed Mourinho’s uneasy relationship with the Madrid media hindered his spell in charge, but suggested the 50-year-old could make a return in the future.

He told www.abc.es: “The door is not closed for Mourinho. It is difficult to understand what the media are like here but he is leaving us with sadness, I think.

It is not easy to live with this (media) pressure, which has sometimes been unjust, verging on personal insults.”
