Benfica coach, Jose Mourinho, said on Friday that there has been no contact between him and Real Madrid, despite speculation that the Spanish giants could turn to him this summer.
The veteran Portuguese coach, who led Los Blancos from 2010 to 2013 in a heated rivalry with Pep Guardiola’s Barca, is reported to be on Madrid’s shortlist for a new coach.
Current Madrid boss Alvaro Arbeloa seems set to be replaced, with the team heading for a second consecutive season without a major trophy.
“No one from Real Madrid has spoken to me. I can guarantee that,” Mourinho, 63, told reporters.
“I’ve been in football for so many years, and I’m used to these things… but there’s nothing from Real Madrid,” added Mourinho, who guided Real to the 2012 La Liga title.
