The under-fire Chelsea boss is Florentino Perez's 'favourite coach' and could be back in the dugout at the Santiago Bernabeu, the club's former president maintains

A return to Real Madrid is a possibility for Jose Mourinho, according to former Los Blancos president Ramon Calderon, who suggests the under-fire Chelsea boss could replace Rafael Benitez.

Mourinho's job has become the subject of immense speculation after a disastrous start to the season, with his side suffering seven defeats in their opening 12 Premier League matches. However, the club's owner, Roman Abramovich, is prepared to be patient with the coach despite reports of unrest in the dressing room.

Although his three-year spell at Madrid was plagued by his disputes with Iker Casillas and a number of other players, he guided the team to a league title and three Champions League semi-finals, and Calderon believes he would be welcome back to the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Real Madrid star and his coach were among the famous names that paid homage to the Blancos legend as he prepares to play the final game of his illustrious career
After a wonderful, trophy-laden career, Raul is finally ready to hang up his boots at the age of 38.

The New York Cosmos player, who lifted the Champions League three times with Real Madrid and triumphed in La Liga on six occasions, will bid farewell to fans on Sunday as his club tries to win the NASL Championship against Ottawa Fury.

And the event has not gone unnoticed among his former team-mates and even adversaries, who grouped together to release a video tribute to the ex-Madrid and Schalke man ahead of his emotional last bow.

Current Real Madrid goalscorer Cristiano Ronaldo and coach Rafa Benitez both recorded messages for Raul, published by the Cosmos, while defenders Pepe and Marcelo and goalkeeper Jose Reina, who appeared alongside the veteran in the Spain national team, also appear to give their words of support.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho will not be sacked during the international break after owner Roman Abramovich decided against making a change at this stage of the season.

Goal understands that Abramovich is reluctant to remove Mourinho now due to a lack of available replacements, with top targets Pep Guardiola and Diego Simeone unavailable mid-season.

Mourinho is under huge pressure with Chelsea sitting 16th in the Premier League table and many players understood to have turned against the Portuguese.

Last season’s champions have lost seven of their 12 league fixtures this season, the latest a 1-0 defeat to Stoke City on Saturday during which Mourinho served a one-match stadium ban.

Chelsea backed Mourinho with an unprecedented vote of confidence last month but have since lost three of their four Premier League matches and been knocked out of the League Cup.

Abramovich has been considering Mourinho’s future amid fears that the club will miss out on a place in next season’s Champions League given they are already 13 points off the top four.

The Russian billionaire is prepared to sack Mourinho but has decided to give him more time to turn Chelsea’s season around, with the Stamford Bridge hierarchy believed to have a number of reservations about making a change now.

The lack of an obvious replacement is the key issue, especially when there is a likelihood that Abramovich’s preferred targets could become available next summer.

Guardiola is out of contract with Bayern Munich next summer while Simeone is believed to be ready to move to the Premier League, with the Atletico Madrid coach and members of his backroom staff currently learning English.

But neither would join Chelsea midway through the season and nor would former Blues manager Carlo Ancelotti consider returning to west London before the end of the campaign. Guus Hiddink, a potential interim option, left his job as Netherlands coach in June during a poor Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.

Chelsea would also have to pay Mourinho and his backroom staff a significant severance package after he signed a £30 million four-year deal in August. It is unknown whether there are any financial clauses in his contract relating to the club’s qualification for the Champions League.

Mourinho is the most successful manager in Chelsea’s history and retains the vocal support of the club’s supporters, while he has insisted that he will not resign.

It means he will be given more time to turn the Blues’ season around but he is well aware that the boardroom consider current results and performances unacceptable.

Goal reported on Sunday that a significant proportion of the dressing room have turned against Mourinho and are feeling disillusioned.

The former Real Madrid and Inter coach has also found himself in hot water with the football authorities and received a one-match stadium ban and a fine after the 2-1 loss to West Ham in October.

Mourinho’s off-field conduct has been received badly in the Stamford Bridge boardroom, where there are concerns about the damage being done to the club’s image.

Mourinho faced heavy criticism after he publicly axed doctor Eva Carneiro, a popular member of the backroom team, earlier this season.

Carneiro is suing Chelsea for constructive dismissal and is also taking individual legal action against Mourinho

The US-based forward has returned to the national team after two years, completing a full house ahead of Friday's Fifa World Cup qualifier against Swaziland in Lobamba

Seattle Sounders' Obafemi Martins arrived in the Super Eagles camp on Wednesday, for the first time since 2013, ahead of Friday's World Cup qualifying match against Swaziland.

'Obagoal' landed at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja at about 5:30am on Wednesday morning via Bristish Airways and later arrived at the Abuja camp at about 6:35am, according to Toyin Ibitoye, the Super Eagles media officer.

Ibitoye told Goal, that the Sounders' forward was well recieved by players and officials at the Bolton White Apartment.

On Tuesday evening, the spokesman of the Nigeria Football Federation, Ademola Olajire had informed Goal, that the striker's late arrival was due to the strike embarked upon by workers of Lufthansa Airlines, which was booked for the players. He said the NFF had to quickly re-book for British Airways.

The 31-year-old last played in a World Cup qualifier under former coach Stephen Keshi in 2013. The veteran forward had earlier admitted plans to retire from international duties after he was ingnored by the former Super Eagles coach.

The Sounders striker who made his international debut a decade ago has scored 18 goals in 39 appearances and has been in top form this year netting 15 goals so far for the Major League Soccer (MLS) outfit.

Martins arrived in the company of Lazio's Ogenyi Onazi and Portugal-based Shehu Abdullahi on Wednesday to complete the 24-man squad of invited players by coach Sunday Oliseh.

Rafael van der Vaart says he never expected Real Madrid to sign Gareth Bale and has described Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho as "suffocating".

Attacking midfielder Van der Vaart played with Madrid forward Bale during his time at Tottenham. The Dutchman left White Hart Lane for Hamburg in 2012, with Bale moving to the Santiago Bernabeu for a world-record transfer fee in September 2013.

Bale has enjoyed success with Madrid, winning the Champions League, Copa del Rey, Fifa Club World Cup and Uefa Super Cup with the club.

However, Bale was criticised for his performances last season and has been limited to just seven appearances so far this campaign due to injuries.

And, in an interview with Canal Plus, Van der Vaart said: "I never thought Bale would end up playing at Madrid. Bale isn't like [Cristiano] Ronaldo or [Lionel] Messi; that's another level."

Asked about his move from Madrid to Tottenham, which came three months after Mourinho's appointment as coach, Van der Vaart added: "Mourinho is a very good coach; he's suffocating, but he knows what he wants.

"He told me they were going to sign [Mesut] Ozil and that it was best that I left for another team in England or wherever."

The 32-year-old rose through the ranks at Ajax where he was a team-mate of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who left Dutch club for Juventus in 2004 shortly after Van der Vaart had allegedly accused the Swede of injuring him intentionally in a friendly between Sweden and Netherlands in 2004.

On his relationship with the Paris Saint-Germain striker, Van der Vaart said: "He's a very cocky guy, like me, and there are times when somebody says something to you that you don't like and you get into a fight.

"We sometimes had problems although when we played together we did well."

Depay: I’ve gained weight since joining Manchester United… but it’s all muscle

The 21-year-old admits he was surprised by his weight increase but insists he continues to work on his explosive speed and coordination

Memphis Depay has revealed that he is five kilograms heavier after joining Manchester United – but insists it is all muscle.

The 21-year-old has admitted to suffering a dip in form since his summer move to Old Trafford, while he has also hit back at suggestions from the Netherlands boss Danny Blind that he is not a team player.

Depay admits his change in weight did come as a surprise and says he is continuing to work on his explosive speed.

“Since I’ve played for Manchester United, I gained 5 kilos. And that’s not fat! Just muscle. It’s bizarre,” Depay told De Telegraaf.

“It’s also have to do with the heavy schedule in England. Now I weigh 85 kg. When I stood on the scales first I thought: ‘OK, is this correct?’ My body is still developing. Now I’m a little more heavy, I have to work on that. I’m working a lot on my coordination and starting speed.

“I get to eat very well at home. It’s cooked for me. I’ve got an own cook. It’s all arranged very well over there. I doing those things. Because no, that’s not offered for free.

“People don’t know what I have to do to be fit and be a part of the national team. The work I do, what’s part of my profession. Perhaps there’s a picture of me that I’m not thinking about that, but that’s nonsense.”

Cristiano Ronaldo this season in La Liga:

• 45 goals scored
• 34 matches played
• 3041 minutes played
• 4 yellow cards
• 1 red card
• 16 assists

What a player!

“It’s not the case that Messi is better than Ronaldo or Ronaldo is better than Messi. They are at the same level.”

“Cristiano is a predator in front of goal. You can’t let Cristiano shoot from anywhere in the opposition half.”

“Goalkeepers are scared of him. You have to be honest, goalkeepers are scared of Cristiano. They are not so scared of Messi in those areas because he doesn’t have the same power as Cristiano.”

— Diego Maradona
