Real Madrid Coach Survey Ticks Jose Mourinho's Box - Report
The Spanish giants narrow their coaching search down to Champions League winners...
By Salvatore Landolina
Marca claims Inter's Jose Mourinho is in pole position, but there are also Liverpool's Rafael Benitez, England coach Fabio Capello and Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti - all of them being Champions League winners.
It's this that Florentino Perez wants. Real Madrid are desperate for the Champions League after an eight-year drought, and the feeling is a coach who has lifted the trophy elsewhere will guarantee success at the Bernabeu.
Interest in the 'Special One' has been awakened after he guided the Nerazzurri past Chelsea on Wednesday, but he still has three years left on his deal at the San Siro.
Pellegrini is tied to the Merengues until 2011, but Perez could be tempted to make a move for one of the targets early.
