For me Mourinho is not the best call or better to say is not the correct call for coach of the Real Madrid, i know he can put some experience and have the back to support the pressure from the stars of this team which are generating huge troubles inside the club but i dont know if that can also back fire in a bad way since Mou is now much older and the new generation is crazy and complciated.
I agree. I think Mourinho is very far from being an ideal coach for Real at this point. In retrospective of his career, when he was by far the best coach in the world, let's take a look at where he had sucess.
FC Porto - He had very strong leadership in the locker-room. Jorge Costa, Vitor Baía, Ricardo Carvalho. Strong leadership in the locker-room.
Chelsea - Again, strong locker-room, Petr Cech, Frank Lampard, John Terry and in addition, brought Ricardo Carvalho and Paulo Ferreira from Porto.
Inter Milan - Once again, locker-room with MEN. Julio Cesar, Javier Zanetti, Cambiasso, Luís Figo, Patrick Vieira, Sneijder, Materazzi, Milito. I could go on.
Real Madrid - This is when his problems started. Not a strong locker-room with experienced players anymore. Squad full of up and comings and young talents. Most experienced player at the time was Casillas at 31. Players like Rául, Morientes, Guti, Fernando Hierro, Ivan Helguera or Michel Salgado had already left the team. This was a Real Madrid in rebuilding process. One of the first things Mourinho did was sign Ricardo Carvalho.
Chelsea second time - Players like Lampard, Terry and Cech were still there but at the very end of their careers. The rest of the squad was very young. He brought back and old Drogba, and Etoo. There is a pattern here. He kept bringing old experienced players to his teams.
Manchester United - Again, one of his first signings was Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Following that pattern.
All this to say, Mourinho struggles with lack of leadership in a squad. And looking at current Real Madrid's squad, this should be the last place he should want to go. Spoiled brats, with no personality, fist fighting eachother, drama diva Vini jr, and lying dictator ninja turtle Mbappe.
Good luck José. But i fear even with the best of luck, you will not succeed in this wasp nest.
