‘I Am Proud Real Madrid Fans Want Me’ – Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho says he feels proud to hear Real Madrid fans
chanting his name and calling for his return to the club.
Real were eliminated by Ajax in the Champions League on Tuesday
night in a humbling 4-1 defeat at the Bernabeu, which was met with
fans singing Mourinho’s name in the streets.
Former club president Ramon Calderon told Sky Sports News on
Wednesday morning that Mourinho is Real’s first choice to takeover
and said initial contact has been made.
However, Mourinho, who left the Bernabeu in 2013 after three years
at the club, was keen to avoid any disrespect towards Santiago
Solari, Real’s current head coach, and dismissed claims
negotiations have begun.
Asked about the fans shouting his name, Mourinho told Spanish TV
station El Chiringuito: “I am proud of that, but Real Madrid have a
manager. Obviously it’s a reason to be proud but nothing more than
that.
“There has been nothing [between me and the club] – not even the
minimum contact. I haven’t done that [spoken to the players or the
president] . Like you say, there are rumours. But rumours in football
are bad.”
