Jose Mourinho to calm the chaos at the Bernabeu?

About this episode

The episode discusses the chaotic season of Real Madrid and the potential return of Jose Mourinho to restore order.

Real Madrid's shambolic season has featured Tchouaméni and Valverde fined for scrapping, Xabi Alonso sacked, a underwhelming caretaker spell from Alvaro Arbeloa, fans booing the players, no trophies, and a distant second place finish - so naturally the man to bring order to the chaos is...Jose Mourinho? Gary and Alex Aljoe look at the latest coming from the Bernabeu as Mourinho looks set to return, but he may have to wait for Florentino Perez to be re-elected as President first. To add insult to injury the World Cup will be the first not to feature any Real Madrid players in the Spain squad. We look at the reaction to this news, in particular from disgruntled Dean Huijsen. We also present our very own TRIF La Liga end of season awards. Spoiler: there's not much joy for Real Madrid there either. The Rest Is Football is powered by Fuse Energy.
