To work for Real Madrid has been a unique experience
Jose Mourinho
Mourinho, however, claims he’s learned lessons from the past.
"I've got an overall great memory of my time there," Mourinho told Spanish TV channel Cuatro.
"To work for Real Madrid has been a unique experience, different from any other I've had, and I've had many.
“We've done fantastic things. We won La Liga… We had bad times, I probably made mistakes, but I improved a lot as a coach and as a person after that experience.

"Now I'm open to even work in a country that I've never worked before, to try out a different culture and win a league in a fifth different country. But I'm calm now."
"I wouldn't have a problem going back to Madrid, Porto, Chelsea, Inter or any team that I have managed.
"It's a nice feeling when someone wants you when you have already been there, but Chelsea is the only team that asked me to go back after a previous spell at the club, nobody else."
Solari can breath easy for now though. Mourinho made it clear he won’t be returning to work until the summer.
"I hope I don't return to work [in coaching] until June," he added. "When you are coaching you don't have time for anything, it's all about winning, losing, smiles and tears.
