Real Madrid are still looking for their next coach. To the point where, in Spain, we hardly talk about this Clasico on Sunday, but almost only about all the problems in the Madrid locker room, and the identity of the future coach. What is certain is that José Mourinho is particularly well placed to (re)become the coach of the most prestigious club on the planet.
If some people didn’t really believe it at first, even thinking it was a hoax, it is indeed serious, and the first discussions have already taken place between the Special Onespent with the club between 2010 and 2013, and the Merengue management. It would above all be a personal desire of Florentino Pérez, who would be convinced that only the Portuguese can restore some internal order. The media ESdiario However, it has just been revealed that during these first contacts, Mourinho set 10 conditions for Madrid decision-makers.
Mourinho wants absolute control
He first wants a two-year contract. No more, no less. Then, he no longer wants to serve as the club’s spokesperson at press conferences, as he did at the time. He therefore asked Real Madrid that someone else be responsible for responding to journalists on subjects that do not directly concern what is happening on the pitch. Third point, and perhaps the most important and on which he was the most uncompromising: no one should interfere in his choice of compositions. Only he can decide who plays and who does not, regardless of the status of the players. He also wants to come with his staff and the men he works with to Benfica. The Special One also insisted on one point: he does not want Antonio Pintus, current physical trainer and a somewhat controversial figure internally.
Sixth condition: Mourinho wishes to have direct contact with the club’s doctors and above all, to be able to impose a second opinion protocol if the player wishes, in order to avoid diagnostic errors. Then, he wants to clean up the locker room and get rid of 7 players, whose names are not given by the media. He also wants to have direct contact with Florentino Pérez to discuss everyday issues, without having to go through intermediaries like José Angel Sanchez. He also made it clear to managers that he no longer wants long summer tours in America or Asia, considering that this is detrimental to the players. Last requirement, and which brings together everything that has just been explained: all these conditions are non-negotiable and in the event that Pérez cannot guarantee everything he asks for, he will say no. The ball is therefore in Real Madrid’s court.
