Real Madrid shouldn't go back to Jose Mourinho says Nicol
Manchester United boss Mourinho spent three years at Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013, scooping the Copa del Rey and La Liga titles along the way.
The Red Devils boss was, however, a controversial figure during his time at the Bernabeu.
The Manchester United boss made the bold decision to drop club legend Iker Casillas, replacing the World Cup winner with Diego Lopez in his final season at the club.
He then fell out with Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo, popular figures among the fans, as his reign teetered down.
Real Madrid are in crisis mode at present with Lopetegui under severe pressure.
Florentino Perez was reportedly seen storming from the directors box after their 2-1 victory over Viktoria Plzen in midweek.
Spanish football expert Guillem Balague has claimed Perez is eager to bring Mourinho back.
And he also claims the club are planning to offload Ramos, in an action that would smoothen a Mourinho return.

“There is talk of Jose Mourinho,” he told the BBC’s European football podcast.
“The admiration Florentino Perez has for Jose has no bounds.
“He wants him back at the club. Seriously.
“The admiration for Mourinho doesn’t mean they will go for him right now.
