Solari has Julia Roberts on his mind

Real Madrid "has always been more courted than Julia Roberts", coach Santiago Solari said on Monday about rumors of a possible return of Jose Mourinho.

Solari took over earlier this season and has a contract until 2021, but has just lost two Clasicos at home. He was speaking at a media conference ahead of Tuesday's meeting with Ajax at the Bernabeu in the Champions League, a competition Real has won the last three years.

Mourinho managed Real for three stormy seasons from 2010-13. Over the weekend he was a guest commentator on Qatar-based beIN Sport, where he analyzed Real's latest loss to Barcelona.
