Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho settled the escalating controversy about the possibility of his return to coaching Real Madrid at the end of the current season, clearly confirming that there was no official communication between him and the Royal Club’s management.
Mourinho explained during the press conference: “No one from Real Madrid spoke to me, and I can confirm that categorically. I have been in the world of football for many years, and I have become accustomed to such rumours, but the truth is that no communication has occurred.”
He added: “There is still nothing left for me to do.” A year into my contract with Benfica,” referring to his current commitment to his club.
On the other hand, Real Madrid’s management continues to study a number of options proposed regarding the future of the technical staff, without entering into formal negotiations with any coach yet, as it prefers to wait before making the final decision.
These developments come in light of mounting media speculation about the identity of the team’s next coach, while the club continues to carefully evaluate the available names, in preparation for resolving this important file before the start of the new season.
