Following the departure of coach Zinedine Zidane, President Florentino Perez set in motion to reach an agreement with Jose Mourinho.
According to the British media “The Telegraph”, Special One was one of the main candidates to run Real, before Perez persuaded Carlo Ancelotti to return to Madrid.
Just a week ago, the president of Real, had asked his managers to contact the 58-year-old even though they knew that the Portuguese had reached a verbal agreement with the Italian club Rome, they insisted that he return to Spain.
The Portuguese coach was Real Madrid’s first choice after Zidane left, but Mourinho rejected the offer of President Perez, after he had decided on another adventure in Serie A with the capital.
In this position, “Los Blancos” decided to turn their head towards Carlo Ancelotti, who led Everton in the Premier League. The Italian coach could not resist the temptation from Perez and returned to Madrid.
