Not only does Mourinho have a past with Chelsea and Real Madrid, he has a present with Chelsea.
Both clubs have big issues with Barcelona and their fans – and players.
Mourinho might be able to overcome the Chelsea connection should he want the Barcelona job but he still has a very good relationship with Real Madrid.
Not only that but he has a huge amount of love for his former club and feels as though there is unfinished business there.
That certainly would no longer be an option should he manage Barcelona. In fact, get your pig’s head ready.
