Regarding the persistent rumors sending him to the Madrid bench, the coach wanted to clarify his situation with absolute firmness. Refusing to be distracted by rumors, he reiterated his total commitment until the end of the exercise: “we continue to talk about Real Madrid, and I continue to run away from that, sincerely. I have had no contact with the president or any other club official. In the final stages of the seasons, I don’t talk to anyone. I haven’t had any contact with Real Madrid and, until the last league match against Estoril (next Saturday, May 16), I won’t have any.»
The technician also wanted to denounce the information circulating on alleged secret negotiations, describing them as pure media inventions: “then there’s a one-week window, during which I’ll be free to speak with whoever I think I need to speak with, but until then, anything that’s come out regarding meetings and calls…it’s speculation.» A clear clarification which postpones any decision on its future after May 16.
