Journalist José Félix Díaz confirmed that Real Madrid's management does not include José Mourinho's name among the candidates to coach the team, amid ongoing debate about the future of the coaching staff led by Álvaro Arbeloa.

Despite the continued friendly personal relationship between Mourinho and club president Florentino Pérez, the professional path of each party is currently moving in a different direction, making the idea of the Portuguese coach returning to Santiago Bernabéu completely unrealistic at present.

Sources indicated that Real Madrid's management prioritizes what coach Álvaro Arbeloa can offer in the upcoming phase, despite the decline in confidence following the loss against Osasuna in La Liga.

Royal club officials acknowledge the presence of mistakes in some technical decisions, but the general approach remains focused on evaluating the project as a whole before moving to alternative options at the end of the season.

The source concluded that Unai Emery, Aston Villa's coach, is not part of the royal club's future plans to take over coaching the team if it is decided to dispense with Arbeloa.
