Alert, Benfica! Florentino Pérez makes key decision on José Mourinho | OneFootball

The international press is in a real frenzy this Tuesday, April 28, all because of rumors linking José Mourinho with Real Madrid. According to what has been gathered, certain sources indicate that Florentino Pérez, president of Los Blancos, has already decided that the Benfica manager is the ideal candidate to replace Álvaro Arbeloa.

The information was reported by The Athletic, which stated that Real Madrid will sack the current coach at the end of the season and that José Mourinho is first in line to succeed Arbeloa in charge of Los Blancos. It is worth remembering that, if this scenario were to materialize, it would be the Special One’s second spell at the Santiago Bernabéu.

According to the British newspaper, Florentino Pérez is the one handling the matter, alone, without turning to outside help. This decision stands in contrast to the signing of Xabi Alonso, a process led by Real Madrid general director José Ángel Sánchez, with the approval of the top Los Blancos official.

The Athletic adds that Florentino Pérez’s plan is to restore Real Madrid’s dominance, and one of the pillars of that plan is to put a firm manager in charge of Los Blancos. The president believes José Mourinho is the ideal name to revive the European project that went into decline last season.

Benfica’s manager expressed a desire to return to Real Madrid. .
