Who will become Real Madrid's coach next season? Anyway, it will definitely not be Arbeloa, who is currently coaching. For now, the legendary "most likely candidate" may be Mourinho. At the end of last month, news about "Mourinho's hope to return to the Bernabeu" began to spread, and Mourinho himself responded a few days ago. The answer he gave at that time was "Real Madrid did not take any action." At present, the latest rumor is that Real Madrid Chairman Florentino has had direct communication with Mourinho, and the latter has also made some demands of his own. So does this mean there has been further progress? Don't worry, if the rumors are true, then the possibility of a collapse of the talks is not unlikely. After all, what Mourinho requires is that Buddha can "completely delegate power", and this latter point may be difficult to achieve. The difficulty in achieving this means that the possibility of a collapse of the talks is not small.
According to reports from many Spanish media such as Mundo Deportivo, Florentino had a nearly one-hour video conference with Mourinho a few days ago. It is said that Mourinho's agent Mendes was also invited to participate in this meeting, but he did not participate in any discussions. As for the coaching conditions proposed by Mourinho, according to "informed sources", they have almost nothing to do with his salary. Instead, they require a comprehensive reform of the club's operations. To put it simply, Mourinho expects to gain absolute sports management power, reorganization power over the medical department and complete disciplinary management power over the entire team.
In this regard, Spanish media including "Daily Sports" also gave a more detailed explanation, indicating that Mourinho's request, in addition to a two-year contract, also has four key points: first, it requires the appointment of a club spokesperson, and the head coach must not be allowed to shoulder the responsibility of public statements on non-sports matters; second, the top management They are not allowed to interfere or criticize the team's tactical arrangements; moreover, Pintus cannot stay on the coaching staff – it should be noted that in many cases, this physical coach is more like being placed as the team's eyeliner by the club president; the last point is to implement reforms in the team's medical department, and allow players to seek medical advice other than the team doctor if they actively request it.
It is said that all the conditions put forward by Mourinho are "non-negotiable" and he will only return to Real Madrid to coach if they are all met. So, can Florentino really satisfy Mourinho? Judging from the current situation, Buddha did not give a direct response, but chose to "discuss it later." This situation is also very logical. How difficult is it to make the president of Real Madrid hand over his power and let the head coach completely control the entire team? In response to this situation, someone commented: Isn’t what Mourinho expects exactly what all Real Madrid coaches expect? In the past, Carlo Ancelotti, Alonso and many other personnel have suffered setbacks in this field more or less. It is reasonable for Mourinho to want to avoid it and embark on the same wrong path again. However, can Lafayette restrain himself and not conduct "personal command"?
