Ex-Barcelona man not keen on Mourinho leaving Benfica: I don't just... | OneFootball

Quique Setién, former Barcelona coach, did not hide his opinion about José Mourinho’s nearly sealed return to Real Madrid, stating that the Special One’s football philosophy does not appeal to him. Asked whether he viewed the Portuguese manager’s return to LaLiga positively, the response was direct: "No, actually not..."

"He has had good results in many places, but I don’t focus only on results," he said while appearing on 'El Programa de Ortega', adding that he misses a more attractive footballing approach. "Mourinho’s teams have never really caught my attention because of the way they play," he concluded.

It should be remembered that, with José Mourinho’s move to Real Madrid practically sealed, the narrative the Special One had presented in Amoreira, where he claimed there was a 99% chance of continuing at Benfica, falls apart. The coach is expected to sign a contract valid until 2028, with an option for one more year with Los Blancos.

In that same vein, the coach is expected in the Spanish capital at the end of this week, more specifically after the final La Liga matchday, when Real Madrid will host Athletic Bilbao on Saturday, 23 May. As such, the Special One is expected to begin his spell with Los Blancos from next week.
