La Liga: Ancelotti approves Mourinho’s return to Real Madrid.

Carlo Ancelotti has voiced his support for a possible return of José Mourinho to Real Madrid’s bench. In an interview granted to The Athletic, the current head coach of the Brazil national team said that the Portuguese coach possessed the ideal profile to relaunch the Madrid club and restore order within the Santiago Bernabéu’s locker room. José Mourinho is strongly talked about for Real Madrid for next season. The former Benfica coach could thus make a notable return to the Spanish capital more than ten years after his first spell.

Ancelotti is well acquainted with the Madrid context, having succeeded Mourinho in 2013 before delivering Real Madrid their famous “La Décima” in the Champions League. The Italian has not hidden his admiration for his former rival. “ I would be very happy to see him return to Real Madrid,” said Ancelotti. “ José is capable of delivering exceptional work, as he has shown at every club he has been at,” added the Italian technician. In a rebuilding context after a difficult season, Ancelotti’s remarks reinforce the speculation about Mourinho’s return to Madrid.
