Physical scuffles in the dressing room, players provoked by Kylian Mbappé’s ego trip – and another season of title drought. This is today’s Real Madrid squad. Xabi Alonso had to give up his job in January, interim coach Alvaro Arbeloa has also failed to assemble the squad with a bunch of superegos for results. Over the past month, Jose Mourinho has been heavily linked with Real’s return for “cleaning up the guard”. Now Benfica are getting ready to lose their coach a year early.
Usually it is Mourinho who gets sacked (has collected over €100 million in compensation by being sacked), but this time comes the exception. Mourinho is said to have had a video call with Real Madrid management this week, during which Mourinho communicated his demands to Los Blancos and the terms of his return.
