“Absolutely not. I’ve already mentioned the amount of damage he caused here,” said former president Calderon when asked about a possible return of Jose Mourinho to Madrid.
“His style of play is not what the Bernabeu wants. What the fans want is what we’ve just seen from Ajax; bravery, aggression with a lot of speed and boldness. Mourinho doesn’t do this.
“I believe that he will be here next year as he’s the only manager who the president respects and it’s because he puts the dressing room in order and he demands the players to work hard,” concluded Calderon.
Jose Mourinho coached Real Madrid in 2010-2013. He has won the Copa del Rey 2010/11 beating Barcelona in the final of the competition thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal in the 103rd minute. Mourinho managed to win La Liga title with Real Madrid during his second season at the Bernabeu adding the Supercopa 2012 to his trophy cabinet in Madrid at the beginning of his third campaign.
The Portuguese coach has already been linked with Real Madrid this season after his exit from Manchester United.

And now in his recent interview with Deportes Cuatro in Spain, he admitted enjoying his spell with Los Blancos:
“I wouldn’t have a problem going back to Madrid, Porto, Chelsea, Inter… any team that I have managed. It’s a nice feeling when someone wants you when you have already been there, but Chelsea is the only team that asked me to go back after a previous spell at the club, nobody else.”
Mourinho went on to remember his years at Real Madrid, admitting the experience made him a much better person:

“I have a fantastic memory. Working in Real Madrid is a unique experience and different from the rest of the clubs I have been at. We did fantastic things, we won a league in a unique way… We also had bad moments, I made mistakes, but after the experiencer made me a better manager and person.”
