Real Madrid head coach, Alvaro Arbeloa, has said he would be delighted if the club picks Jose Mourinho as his replacement.
According to Arbeloa, the Portuguese tactician is “number one”.
Mourinho, who led Madrid between 2010 and 2013, has been heavily linked with a return to the Santiago Bernabeu bench.
Madrid president, Florentino Perez, has decided to bring the 63-year-old back after a second successive season without silverware.
“For me, as a former (Madrid) player and as a Madridista, Jose Mourinho is number one. He’s one of ours,” Arbeloa told reporters.
“If he comes back next year, I’ll be very happy to see him back home.”
Arbeloa replaced Xabi Alonso in January, but is now set to depart at the end of this season.
