Jose Mourinho Emerges as Top Candidate to Replace Real Madrid Manager Alvaro Arbeloa
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is pushing to bring back Jose Mourinho as manager after the team was knocked out of the Champions League and fell behind in La Liga under current coach Alvaro Arbeloa.
Real Madrid is considering a dramatic coaching change after poor results this season. The team was eliminated from the Champions League and is struggling in Spain's top league, La Liga, under manager Alvaro Arbeloa.
President Florentino Perez now supports bringing back Jose Mourinho, the Portuguese coach who previously managed Madrid from 2010 to 2013. During that time, Mourinho and Perez worked together to win three trophies, including the 2011-12 La Liga title.
The move would be considered a wildcard choice. Mourinho is known as a strong personality who can control team locker rooms and make bold statements. However, some people within the club oppose his return.
A second stint at Madrid would reunite Mourinho with Perez and give the team a manager with a proven track record at the club. Mourinho is seen as someone the president knows and trusts during this difficult period.
Real Madrid is one of the world's biggest soccer teams, and a coaching change could shake up the sport. Mourinho is a famous manager who previously won three trophies with Madrid from 2010 to 2013.
Watch for official announcements about Arbeloa's future and whether Madrid will make a formal approach to Mourinho.
