Who will be the new Real Madrid coach? One thing seems certain, it will not be Alvaro Arbeloa. If the former right-back has not yet been officially sentenced, the Madrid media are not giving him a chance. Many names appear in the Spanish newspapers, with Didier Deschamps, Mauricio Pochettino, Jürgen Klopp or Zinedine Zidane, even if a return of the Frenchman to the Bernabéu seems very unlikely, since he is promised to the Blues.
And in recent days, a new name has gained momentum: that of José Mourinho, formerly of the White House. If many supporters and journalists considered this option improbable or even crazy, things have changed and the Portuguese is indeed a credible candidate. Initial contacts between his agent Jorge Mendes and the management of Real Madrid have even already taken place.
A message sent to Pérez?
Above all, the Madrid media did not fail to notice a like from Kylian Mbappé on social networks. He thus liked a publication claiming that Mourinho could return to Real Madrid, with a photomontage in which we see him alongside the Portuguese tactician. “Mbappé’s mysterious like: does he want Mourinho at Real Madrid”asks for example Marca. “Mbappé votes for Mourinho”we can read in another article from the media.
“A nod which adds credibility to a possible return of Mourinho to the Santiago Bernabéu bench”explains the newspaper A.S.. You will have understood, this like is clearly not anecdotal for the Madrid media. It must be said that the publications covering Real Madrid news have no doubt: Kylian Mbappé’s opinion in the choice of the future coach risks counting. And if many felt that this factor gave a certain advantage to Didier Deschamps, it is perhaps the Special One who will benefit from it…
