Defending Champions Real were dumped out of the Champions League last night after Ajax battered them 4-1 at the Bernabeu.
Los Blancos were second best throughout the encounter and the writing now looks to be on the wall for the beleaguered rookie coach.
Mourinho – who was dismissed by Manchester United in December – has been repeatedly linked with a return to Real.
The Portuguese spent three years in Madrid but left amid rumours of dissent in the dressing room.
Mourinho, however, claims he’s learned lessons from the past.
“I’ve got an overall great memory of my time there,” Mourinho told Spanish TV channel Cuatro.
“To work for Real Madrid has been a unique experience, different from any other I’ve had, and I’ve had many.
“We’ve done fantastic things. We won La Liga… We had bad times, I probably made mistakes, but I improved a lot as a coach and as a person after that experience.
“Now I’m open to even work in a country that I’ve never worked before, to try out a different culture and win a league in a fifth different country. But I’m calm now.”
Solari can breath easy for now though. Mourinho made it clear he won’t be returning to work until the summer.
“I hope I don’t return to work [in coaching] until June,” he added.
“When you are coaching you don’t have time for anything, it’s all about winning, losing, smiles and tears.
“There’s enormous pressure. I want to continue with this calmness and keep watching my football.”
Ajax and Chelsea legend Ruud Gullit says there’s no chance Florentino Perez will coax Mourinho back to the Bernabeu before the end of the season.
“[Mourinho] won’t step in now, I don’t think he will step in now,” he told Bein Sports.
“I can’t believe that he would step in now, there’s nothing to gain, there’s nothing to win.”
Ex-Blues skipper Marcel Desailly also noted that the current situation is not ideal for Mourinho.
“They’ve lost everything, and in a bad way as well, it’s not like they tried, it’s humiliation,” Desailly said.
“Remember Mourinho, he plays with the fact that he can potentially bring players to victory.
“Instead he would just take the team slowly until the end of the season.”
