Benfica manager José Mourinho has insisted he has not spoken to anybody at Real Madrid over a return to the club as he made a point of claiming the best coaches are those that do not jump between teams.
Reports have suggested that Madrid president Florentino Pérez has identified Mourinho as his preferred replacement for current boss Álvaro Arbeloa, whose tenure in the Bernabéu dugout is not expected to last beyond this season.
