Benfica manager, Jose Mourinho has dismissed speculations linking him with a sensational return to Real Madrid.
Reports had suggested that Madrid president, Florentino Perez, has identified Mourinho as his preferred candidate for the role.
Meanwhile, Alvaro Arbeloa, who stepped in on an interim basis after the sacking of Xabi Alonso, is expected to leave in the summer.
Reacting to the rumours, Mourinho insisted his full attention remains on securing Champions League qualification for Benfica.
He told reporters: “My next goal is to get Benfica to the Champions League.
“If we win the next three matches, we’ll play in Europe’s biggest competition. That’s the only thing on my mind.”
Mourinho previously managed Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013, winning both La Liga and the Copa del Rey during his time at the club.
