Spanish giants Real Madrid have continued to exhibit a poor game play for some time recent one being the clash with their bitter rivals, Barcelona where they were thrashed 3-0 which is forcing the officials go back to the drawing board to look for a manager
Former Real Madrid president Roman Calderon says he expects Jose Mourinho to be back in charge at the Santiago Bernabeu next season.
The foul mouthed Portuguese out of work since being sacked by Manchester United in December, spent three years in the Spanish capital between 2010-13.
The European champions are currently under the stewardship of Santiago Solari, the Argentine promoted from the club’s Castilla side after Julen Lopetegui’s sacking earlier this season. Solari continues to be viewed as little more than an interim appointment, despite being handed a considerable permanent deal.
But Los Blancos remain off the pace in La Liga nine points behind leaders Barcelona and were dumped out of the Copa del Rey by their great rivals this week.Madrid were embarrassed on home soil with a 3-0 defeat to fall to a 4-1 aggregate loss – and are now left with the Champions League as their only potential silverware this term.
Failure to retain for a fourth successive year is likely to see Solari fall under Florentino Perez’s sword.And according to Calderon, he can already foresee a situation where Mourinho returns despite falling out with club chiefs during his previous stint.
Calderon declared on social media: “I have a feeling, and maybe a little more, that Mourinho will be on the Real Madrid bench next season”.Real face Barcelona again on Saturday in the league, with Solari having stated after the midweek loss that he was happy with his side’s display.
“Football is a forceful game,” he said. “We applied ourselves well, with energy, but we weren’t decisive.”We have been beaten with honour, but we’re sad because this is a tough blow for us to take.
“It isn’t a failure because it was a semi-final and we won’t be able to play in the final, so we will have to try again.”
If they’re humbled once again, then his future will be all but decided.
