Real Madrid senior players are unhappy with plans for Jose Mourinho to return.

Real president Florentino Perez wants to bring back Mourinho to the club after a disastrous season.

However, ABC says Perez is facing some push back from inside the locker room, with players such as Karim Benzema and captain Sergio Ramos against the appointment.

Mourinho left Real five years having fallen out with the players, though has always maintained a good relationship with Perez.

A decision to remove coach Santiago Solari could drop today if defeat to Real Valladolid is suffered.
