Courtois worried about the prospect of Real hiring Conte

Former Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is said to be worried about the prospect of working under either Antonio Conte or Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid.

The two former Chelsea bosses are being heavily linked with the post amid increasing pressure mounting over Julen Lopetegui, who has endured a poor start to life in Madrid.

Conte is the standout candidate when looking at managers currently out of work and the Italian is said to have been contacted about the possibility of replacing Lopetegui in Spain.

Courtois, who left Chelsea on bad terms with the supporters, did not enjoy the best of relationships with either Conte or Mourinho.

However, in claims that will surely delight many Blues fans, the Belgian is now facing the prospect of once again working with one of the two.

According to a report from Football Espana, El Pias quote the Belgian expressing his concern about the managerial situation at Real.

I cannot believe it. Here I am the only one who has worked with Conte and with Mourinho. I left London to not have to go through something like that again and now it turns out that Conte comes, and if not, Mourinho.
