A second return?
A second return?

Mourinho hasn't covered himself in glory at the end of his tenure at any club, inevitably falling out with his board, players, fans, or all of them.

This happened to Real Madrid as well, where the players had turned on him after the Portuguese manager had dropped several key and influential players. But Mourinho did destroy Barcelona's dominance in Spain when he won the league title in 2011-12, when the Catalan club was at the peak of its powers.

With Real Madrid struggling to find a top coach to steady the ship at Madrid, and help Los Blancos win another league title. The odds of Mourinho returning to the Bernabéu is small, but we've seen Madrid hire worse managers in the past, in their revolving managerial door.

The Portuguese will bring strong leadership qualities that can help unite the egos in the dressing room, like he did with Inter Milan and his first stint at Chelsea, but can also turn on the players like he did in his first Madrid stint and more recently with Manchester United.
