Jose Mourinho 'ready for Real Madrid return' if Zinedine Zidane is sacked

Real Madrid identified Jose Mourinho as their first choice to replace manager Zinedine Zidane. Zidane has struggled to recapture in his second spell in charge of Real. In addition, a 1-0 defeat at Mallorca put the French manager under more pressure. According to  El Mundo (via SPORT), the Frenchman's departure would open the door for Mourinho to make a return to the Bernabeu, with the former manager considered one of the leading alternatives.
