I'm not convinced he'd take it if offered. Purely because i'm not sure that being at a club like that gives him enjoyment. Choosing which shiny superstar plays where doesn't strike me as something that pumps his nads. Instead it strikes me that what drives him is turning players into superstars, giving a fuck you to clubs like Real with clubs like us or Sevilla.

I reckon it's 50/50 that he'd take it if offered, but I don't think they'd offer it to him.

They'd almost certainly be interested (why wouldn't they be?), he'd turn up and explain how he'd whip them all into shape with intricate tactical drills, video analysis and meetings and they'd decide that's not what they're looking for and get Mourinho back in.

Yep, he's obviously going to be on any shortlist but how he operates just isn't a good fit for them and they've just sacked someone who wants to do things in a similar way so I'd be surprised if he got the offer in the end.

He’s always going to be linked with the European big clubs because he’s the best

As much as I or anyone else might think he’d not be a fit or he would stay for all the freedoms and power we afford him, Real Madrid is arguably the top of the food chain when it comes to domestic football. To even be considered is quite the honour. He’s not just going to dismiss it if there is any official approach. He would know the immense rewards along with the risks. And his confidence and ego might tell him he can do it. But I think as highly regarded as he is he doesn’t fit their profile. So this for me unless proven otherwise is more talk and rumour than anything of substance. I feel post WC they will just go back to Ancelotti.
