Mourinho's Influence at Real Madrid

The Spanish newspaper AS revealed that Portuguese coach José Mourinho will have greater influence within Real Madrid compared to his predecessors, as part of the new project he is leading at the royal club during the current summer transfer window.

According to the report, several deals that Real Madrid made this summer, or that reached advanced stages, were based on direct recommendations from Mourinho, who has become more clearly involved in the club's sports decisions.

This approach aims to build a team capable of competing for titles immediately, without waiting for many years of development, which represents a shift from the club's previous policy that relied on long-term planning regardless of the coach's identity.

The report clarified that Mourinho is no longer just a coach who identifies his technical needs, but he now has an influential opinion on contract matters, within a shared vision with the club's management, headed by President Florentino Perez.

The source concluded that the main idea within Real Madrid this summer is to achieve quick and direct results, while giving Mourinho a greater role in determining the type of players capable of executing his technical project in the upcoming phase.
