This start of the year is synonymous with taking stock. And the “Special One” has not forgotten it. Now at the head of Fenerbahçe in Turkey, José Mourinho has not erased from his memory his time at Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013. The Portuguese coach, still close to Madrid president Florentino Pérez, confided that he regretted having left the club to return to Chelsea.
“ Saying no to Florentino Pérez remains one of my great regrets. He told me: ‘Don’t leave now, you’ve done the hardest part and the best is yet to come. Stay at Real Madrid’ “, Mourinho told Corriere dello Sport. However, he explained his choice: “ I wanted to return to Chelsea after three difficult years in Spain “. A year after his departure, Real Madrid won their tenth Champions League under Carlo Ancelotti, ending three consecutive eliminations under Mourinho.
