Jose Mourinho: Why ‘special’ is returning to Real Madrid

So what does the return of wisdom look like? The areas where Mourinho needs to improve are no secret.

He should understand that winning is a shared vision and not a slogan he imposed. The bullet points from his tenures at Supers and Manchester United read as a guide to what not to do: his inability to fully adapt his tactics to the team, ignoring the needs of some around him, acknowledging victories and taking responsibility for defeats.

A. There is also an issue. event In Spain it probably never had the scandal it should have.

Mourinho called out Eusebio in response to Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni’s racist attack on Vinicius’ manager, arguing that a club where the great legend is a black man cannot be racist.

It caused a stir and then mysteriously disappeared. His move back to Madrid has barely come up in the debate, which probably tells you everything about the current situation at the club, so desperate to find a solution, certain questions are quietly answered.

In Madrid, Vinicius and Mbappé already have a tenuous coexistence, with the dressing room being allowed to manage its own politics for two years, any repetition of which will spell instant disaster.

The Vinicius-Mbappe problem deserves more attention. Three managers – Carlo Ancelotti, Xabi Alonso, Arbeloa – could not make it work as a partnership.

The chemistry that would make Madrid the most feared attack in Europe simply failed to materialize. Mourinho’s history has been mixed with difficult combinations or personalities, but let’s go with the hopefuls.

They won the treble by deploying striker Samuel Eto as a right winger at Inter Milan. He managed the Cristiano Ronaldo-Karim Benzema dynamic in Madrid, always making them work without discomfort.

He can do this. But only if he is willing to govern with empathy and understanding, not just by authority.

His questions have already been listed. It requires input on signatures – not necessarily names, but locations, areas of interest.

He identified the imbalance in the group. He pushed Luka Modric, Sami Khedira and Mesut Ozil in his first Madrid clash and history confirms all three selections.

He also wants his staff around him, his own people in key roles. The club wants to maintain a medical and physical unit. Whether Mourinho can not only accept, but work with that hybrid structure – his coaches, his doctors – will be an early test of how much he has truly changed.

And the real one is the weight he inherits.

Two titleless seasons and a team that played without strength and finished below the top 10 in the Champions League group stage – twice.

Perez’s media conference yesterday did not call for this. He talked about the press, about conspiracies, about his enemies. He always does it in secret, he never knew it so openly before.

He was singing from Mourinho’s song sheet. He didn’t talk about football.

Mourinho has to do it. And he needs to solve it by gaining the trust of his students rather than just talking about it. By managing the culture rather than bulldozing it. He joins the club with the understanding that it is more than one person.

Yesterday’s press conference may have marked the beginning of something. Whether it’s a renaissance or a comeback depends entirely on whether Mourinho has learned anything from the past decade.

He says he has. Madrid is about to find out.
