Portuguese coach Francisco Chaló has expressed his confidence in Jose Mourinho’s ability to restore the prestige of Real Madrid after a very challenging 2025-2026 season.

“If Mourinho’s return to Real Madrid is confirmed, there will certainly be more discipline within the squad. Los Merengues have a galaxy of stars who lack rigor and seriousness. In this particular context, he can bring better tactical discipline, along with perfect collective organization,” he stated in a comment to Foot Africa.

As a reminder, the Special One’s previous stint with Los Merengues between 2010 and 2013 was not especially fruitful, yielding just three trophies (La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup).

Last season, José Mourinho managed Benfica, achieving a record of 27 wins, 10 draws, and 8 defeats in 45 matches across all competitions.
