Jose Mourinho set to replace Santiago Solari at Real Madrid imminently – but there’s a catch

No category

Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly closing in on returning to Real Madrid to replace Santiago Solari.

According to Goal, however, the Portuguese tactician is only expected to take charge of the side until the end of the season, when the club hope they could then hire Zinedine Zidane for a second time.

Mourinho was previously at Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013, and won the La Liga title during his time at the Bernabeu.

His first spell ended badly, however, as have his subsequent jobs with Chelsea and Manchester United.

Hiring Mourinho again looks a bit of a risk for Madrid, though at this stage things have got so bad under Solari that they don’t have much to lose.
