Iker Casillas reflected on the professional relationship he had with José Mourinho at Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013, in an interview with the French newspaper L’Équipe:
“A marriage that ended badly.”
The initial bond between the two gradually wore down over time, eventually costing the athlete his place in the starting lineup. Today, the relationship between them is calmer, reflected in the following reality:
“Today, if we meet, we greet each other, we can even sit down at the table and talk without any problem.”
It should be remembered that Iker Casillas had already shown opposition to Mourinho’s return to Real Madrid, with the Spanish goalkeeper admitting that he would rather see Xabi Alonso, now Chelsea’s manager, remain in the position.
