Mourinho says no contact with Real Madrid about manager’s job

Benfica coach José Mourinho stated that there has been no contact between him and Real Madrid, despite speculation that he could be a candidate to replace current coach Álvaro Arbeloa. Mourinho, who managed Real from 2010 to 2013, emphasized that he has one year left on his contract with Benfica and has not been approached by the Spanish club. Currently, Real Madrid is struggling, trailing Barcelona by 11 points in La Liga and having been eliminated from the Champions League by Bayern Munich.
