Mourinho chooses a new leader at Real. |
According to Spanish media, Mourinho reached an agreement to manage Real Madrid for the next two seasons after a meeting with the club's leadership in Lisbon. However, the official announcement is being delayed due to issues related to the election of a new club president.
It is noteworthy that in his return to the Bernabéu, Mourinho did not choose Kylian Mbappe or Vinicius Junior as the leader of the dressing room, but instead placed his trust in goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
El Periodico reports that Mourinho has directly contacted Courtois to discuss the team's future and the Belgian goalkeeper's role in the new project. The 63-year-old coach considers Courtois to be Real Madrid's most important player in the last two seasons, especially given the team's defensive problems.
Mourinho is reportedly looking to build Real Madrid on defensive solidity, a quality that has contributed to his past successes. Therefore, the Portuguese strategist's transfer priorities are to add a right-back and two new central defenders to support Rudiger and the young talent Dean Huijsen.
With Eder Militao constantly sidelined by long-term injuries, David Alaba on the verge of leaving, and Raul Asencio potentially being sold, Mourinho wants to quickly rebuild the defense before thinking about upgrading the attack.
Notably, one of Mourinho's biggest tasks at Real will be finding a way to reconcile Mbappe and Vinicius, two players considered difficult to combine on the pitch. At the same time, Vinicius's future remains uncertain as his contract extension with Real Madrid has yet to reach a final agreement.
