Mourinho Responds to Link with Return to Real Madrid
Portuguese coach José Mourinho, manager of Benfica, responded candidly to reports linking him to a return as Real Madrid's coach, stating that he is not interested in discussing these rumors.
Mourinho said in his speech, "Stop involving me in your drama series. There are good series, but they are too long, and if you miss some episodes, you won't understand what's happening. Don't rely on me for series, because I don't watch them at all."
This comes amid ongoing speculation about Mourinho's future with Benfica, especially since his current contract runs until the summer of 2027. Meanwhile, some media reports claim that the coach is creating problems within the club to pressure the management into firing him.
It is worth mentioning that Mourinho previously coached Real Madrid from 2010 to 2013, during which time he won the La Liga title, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup.
