Iker Casillas has once again spoken out against a possible return of José Mourinho to Real Madrid. The former goalkeeper and captain of Los Blancos took to social media to make his position clear on the possibility of the Portuguese coach returning to the Santiago Bernabéu.
I. Casillas: "I don't want him"

"I have absolutely no problem with Mourinho. He seems to me a great professional. I don't want him at Real Madrid. I think there are other coaches better qualified to manage the club of my life. Personal opinion. Nothing more", he wrote on his "X" account (formerly Twitter).
The post came after the former Spain international was criticized on social media for an earlier comment about Real Madrid's season, inspired, according to him, by an analysis made by Toni Kroos. "It is curious because I only tried to reflect the opinion of a phenomenon who was my teammate: Toni Kroos. A football genius. My opinion (99% copied from his opinion) is attacked by a certain sector of dark madridismo. The world of social media is incredible. Just so you know one thing: I really couldn't care less", he vented.
Iker Casillas had already made his position clear at a recent La Liga event, preferring Xabi Alonso. "For me, the ideal coach Madrid had was Xabi Alonso, he was the perfect coach, always giving him continuity and confidence", he said at the time.
Meanwhile, the name of José Mourinho has been increasingly linked with the club led by Florentino Pérez. A scenario which, apparently, does not convince the former Porto goalkeeper and one of the greatest figures in the history of the most successful club in European football.
