Jose set for England return ... at Leicester!
Posted Wednesday, May 11, 2011 by The Sun
JOSE MOURINHO is set to return to English football this summer — when his Real Madrid side take on Leicester in a pre-season friendly.
The Foxes will host nine-time European champions Real in a showdown at the Walkers Stadium on July 30, one week before the new Championship campaign begins.
Real boss Mourinho could include the world's two most expensive players in Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka in his squad, along with World Cup winners Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos and Xabi Alonso.
Leicester boss Sven-Goran Eriksson said: "It is fantastic that Leicester City will be taking on one of the world's most famous teams.
"Real Madrid is a club with great tradition and their squad is filled with world-class players.
"Their manager is someone who demands the best from his players, whatever the occasion, and I am sure it will be an exciting day for our players, and of course, our supporters.
"This fixture shows that the club is growing all the time and emphasises the owners' commitment to moving Leicester City forward."
