Amid links to Saudi Arabia and a potential international job, one of Jose Mourinho's ex-clubs is now reportedly considering taking him back in a shock move.
With Carlo Ancelotti seemingly set to depart Real Madrid when the season draws to a close, LALIGA giants Real Madrid are considering rehiring their former manager Mourinho, according to Mundo Deportivo.

The Portuguese tactician's previous tenure with the Madrid club saw him win three trophies – a Copa del Rey, a Spanish Super Cup, and a La Liga title — between May 2010 and June 2013.
Mourinho has reportedly decided to depart Roma once his contract runs out at the end of this campaign, and he has since been linked with a potential big-money move to Saudi Arabia and the England national team job.
The "Special One" now reportedly joins a list of Los Blancos managerial candidates that is said to also include Xabi Alonso, Zinedine Zidane and Roberto De Zerbi, among others.
However, the Spanish giants' move to bring in a new manager will depend on whether or not current boss Ancelotti stays or leaves.
The former Chelsea boss is believed to be set to become Brazil's new head coach at the end of the season, but reports suggest that nothing has been signed officially.
