While José Mourinho, currently at Benfica, is mentioned among the profiles likely to return next season to Real Madrid, the current coach of the White House, Álvaro Arbeloa, was keen to speak this Saturday at a press conference about his former coach. The former Madrid full-back did not hesitate to pay him tribute, calling him an absolute reference in his eyes, and suggesting that he remains number one in his mind among all the technicians he has known.
“Is Mourinho the solution for this undisciplined locker room? I don’t understand the “unruly locker room” argument. I don’t agree with it. The day the club makes a decision regarding next season’s coach, it will do so at the time it deems appropriate. For me, as a Real Madrid player and fan, Mourinho is number one. I thought that a month ago, and I still think that. He is and always will be one of us. If he’s here next season, I’ll be very happy to see him come home.”Arbeloa said. This is very clear.
