Casillas on Mourinho's appointment: “The right man came”

Although he has openly spoken out against the hiring of José Mourinho to lead Real Madrid’s coaching staff, Iker Casillas spoke for the first time about the Portuguese coach’s arrival at the club.

Short on words, the former FC Porto goalkeeper merely wished Mourinho good luck. “The one who had to come has come. José [Mourinho] is at Real Madrid, and I wish him the best of luck. I hope he does a good job,” he said, as quoted by the newspaper “As”.
