The future of José Mourinho continues to generate discussion across the European scene, especially given Real Madrid’s interest. This time, it was Javier Tebas, president of La Liga, who commented on the coach’s possible return, offering praise and highlighting the media impact the Portuguese manager would have on the league.

On the sidelines of an event in Spain, he was clear when addressing the subject: “Whatever Real Madrid and its directors decide will be good for Real Madrid, Mourinho is a show, a spectacle, and that is good for LaLiga,” he said.

The Spanish executive went even further in his praise: “He is one of the great coaches in the world and top-level; everything that is top-level in our competition pleases me”, making it clear how highly he would value the Portuguese manager’s return.

Despite the growing interest, the coach remains focused on Benfica, having recently stated that “the next objective is to take Benfica to the Champions League”, avoiding fueling speculation about his immediate future and reinforcing his commitment to the present.
