Florentino Perez's 'ultimate goal is to bring Jose Mourinho back' to Real Madrid

Florentino Perez reportedly wants to bring Jose Mourinho back to Real Madrid following the exit of Xabi Alonso.

Alonso, 44, left Real Madrid by mutual consent following their 3-2 Super Cup defeat to arch-rivals Barcelona on Sunday (January 11).

Alvaro Arbeloa has been appointed in the meantime, stepping up from his role as Castilla coach, which he initially took on over the summer.

Journalist Alfredo Relano believes that Perez’s ultimate goal, however, is to bring Mourinho back to the club in the summer.

Relano told COPE: "His ultimate goal is to bring back Mourinho, who is currently causing a stir at Benfica, precisely so they fire him."

Arbeloa, in the meantime, insists he has no intention of copying his former boss’ style, telling reporters: 0"I haven't spoken to him (Mourinho).

“For me, it was a privilege to be coached by him, someone who had a great influence on me. I'm going to be like Arbeloa; I'm not afraid of failure, but if I tried to be like Mourinho, I would fail spectacularly.

"I've had many coaches. They were very important in my career, a great influence. You have your own way of being and you take the best from each one. Many are legends, they've won everything in football. I hope I do half as well as many of them."
