Benfica manager Jose Mourinho has dismissed reports circulating in the media that he plans to return to Real Madrid.
Recall that Real Madrid parted ways with Xabi Alonso last week after just seven months at the helm, with Alvaro Arbeloa taking the reins after coaching the Castilla team for half a season.
Liverpool icon Jurgen Klopp and former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca have been touted as potential candidates, while there were also reports in the Spanish media that Mourinho could return for a second stint at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Mourinho was in charge of Madrid between 2010 and 2013, winning one LaLiga title, one Copa del Rey and one Supercopa de Espana.
But when the Special One, who only returned to Benfica in September, was asked about those reports, he replied: “Don’t count on me for soap operas.
“There are many good soap operas, but they take too long. Then you miss an episode or two and you lose track. Don’t count on me, I don’t watch soap operas.”
