A former captain of Real Madrid has publicly expressed reservations regarding the anticipated appointment of José Mourinho as the club’s next head coach. Despite currently holding a contract with Benfica until 2027, reports strongly suggest Mourinho is poised to return to “Los Blancos” following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season. Mourinho previously served as Real Madrid’s manager from 2010 to 2013, during which time he secured victories in La Liga and the Copa del Rey.

He has also held coaching positions with Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Roma, Fenerbahçe, and currently Benfica. The former Real Madrid player’s opposition to Mourinho’s return highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the Portuguese manager’s potential impact on the club’s future.
The move would represent a significant return for mourinho, revisiting his time at the iconic real madrid stadium. Details regarding the specific terms of any potential agreement remain unconfirmed.
