Manchester United handed massive boost as Chelsea outcast turns down Real Madrid
JOSE MOURINHO has told Real Madrid he will not return for a second spell as head coach according to reports.
Manchester United fans are desperate to see Mourinho come to Old Trafford
The 52-year-old was dismissed from the Chelsea job shortly before Christmas after a disastrous start to the champions' title defence.
And now Diario Sport are reporting that the Portuguese manager has told Madrid president Florentino Perez he will not be making a return to the Bernabeu.
Mourinho led the Spanish giants to the 2011-12 La Liga title, but left the club in 2013 after a season fraught with problems, including public spats with Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo.
