Perhaps one of the bombshells in the transfer market this week surrounds Real Madrid. The Los Blancos are already searching for a replacement for Carlo Ancelloti, who is thought to be next in line for the National Team job in Brazil.
Mundo Deportivo, as cited by Fichajes.net, claims Jose Mourinho could be one of the options for Real Madrid. This comes as the Portuguese manager is yet to sign a contract extension with AS Roma.
