The Chelsea manager is under immense pressure, despite winning the Premier League title just months ago, with the Blues down in 16th place in the Premier League.
Mourinho and his side have endured an awful start to the season, picking up just 11 points from their first 12 matches.
Calderon took charge of Los Blancos in July 2006, appointing Fabio Capello as manager and winning La Liga in his first season at the club. He resigned from his position in January 2009 following allegations of vote-rigging.
"It is not a secret that the current Real Madrid president has backed Mourinho many times. He likes him a lot and you can't rule out seeing him again on the bench at the Bernabeu," Calderon told talkSPORT.
Mourinho was in charge for three years at Real Madrid before returning to Chelsea, winning the title in 2011-12.
"I know it seems strange, but if [Rafael] Benitez doesn't have a good season and Mourinho gets sacked by Chelsea, I insist you can't rule out seeing him here again.
"I know that the president tried to have him here instead of Benitez, but Mourinho said he didn't want it and that it wasn't the right time to come back.
"But after two or three years I can see him here again - it happened the same with Chelsea, they sacked him but then he came back. In football that is normal.
"The current president has a lot of interest in Mourinho, he backed him a lot during his time at Madrid and Mourinho is his favourite coach."
