Mourinho: Real Madrid talks? I'm proud to be linked

Former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho insists he's not heard from Real Madrid.

While leaving the door open to a return, Mourinho insists there's been no contact with Real about succeeding coach Santiago Solari.

He told Radio Marca: "You are talking hypothetically, there is nothing, not the least contact.

"I'm proud, but Madrid has a coach, it's a source of pride."

Asked about Real's Champions League elimination by Ajax, Mourinho also said: "Surprising, but I see it with a lot of respect for everything they've done before, you cannot win four, five or six Champions in a row.

"The rumours in football are normal, when they have won, I have been happy for them and I am not happy with what happened. What they've done, I think no team will ever do again."
