“I would like to come back to work in England”, he said

Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon says you “can’t rule out” Jose Mourinho returning to the Santiago Bernabeu.

“I would like to come back to work in England”, Ancelotti told the Daily Mail.

“I know it seems unusual, but if Benitez doesn’t have a good season and Mourinho gets sacked by Chelsea, I insist you can’t rule out seeing him here again”. ‘I love the football here, I still have a house in London, and I would like to be with a team that is competitive in England and in Europe.

Speaking to Sky Sports Now, he said: “I think having so many away might be a good thing”.

“I didn’t get a chance to speak with Jose but we get on well”. It comes in a moment where people are asking for my “end”.”Today they tried to say: ‘We want you here.’ And, probably, they want to say: ‘All of you, let him work”.

He further added, “Sometimes you can’t explain why things happen… what is going wrong”. How did we lose (with AC Milan) in Istanbul when we were three goals up against Liverpool at half-time?

Mourinho has been under heavy scrutiny and is facing the prospect of being dismissed as manager for a second time by the club’s chairman, Roman Abramovich, unless he can mastermind a turnaround. “A few players benefit from criticism but for others they don’t”.

The club have a history of making changes mid-season by bringing in a manager on an interim basis, but the former Liverpool midfielder didn’t see any viable options on the market.

I always really missed Atletico; I was coming to play 50 games or more and to have to share my position [with Cesar Azpilicueta] shocked me.

Mourinho will be back on the sidelines after the worldwide break when his side face Norwich City on November 21, and he will be hoping to secure a morale-boosting win. “To support the club manager, I think, is a way of showing respect, but is fundamentally a way to show passion for the club”.

I talked to [Diego Simeone] a few times. It makes you less important but I made up for the games I missed with games for the Brazil team.

Despite the Blues’ poor start to the season under Mourinho, Drogba has backed the coach he spent more than three seasons working with at Stamford Bridge to come good once more.
