Jose Mourinho hints at Real Madrid return

Jose Mourinho has seemingly suggested that he would be open to a return to Real Madrid.

The 55-year-old was sacked as manager of Manchester United last month, and the experienced boss has already been linked with a number of different positions.

Reports have suggested Madrid as a possible destination, with Santiago Solari unlikely to be made the club's manager on a full-time basis, and Mourinho has claimed that it is "a tremendous honour" to be linked with the role.

Mourinho told Record: "When a professional returns or is invited to return to a club it is a tremendous honour. I felt it when I returned to Chelsea."

The Portuguese's first spell at the Bernabeu came between 2010 and 2013, a period which saw the club win La Liga and the Copa del Rey.
