Casillas snubs Mourinho! Real Madrid legend takes swipe at Benfica boss | OneFootball

Iker Casillas has spoken out again about the future of Real Madrid’s coaching position and, this time, he did so even more directly and publicly, through a social media post that quickly sparked debate among fans.

The former goalkeeper, a historic figure at the merengue club, had already recently made it clear that he did not look favorably on a return of José Mourinho to the Real Madrid bench, although he stressed that there is no personal conflict with the Portuguese coach. Now, he went a step further and decided to share a list of names who, in his opinion, could take charge of the "blancos" in the immediate future, leaving out precisely the coach who has been most strongly linked with the role.

In the post, the former Spain international wrote several managers’ names whom he considers viable alternatives to lead Real Madrid’s project, including Unai Emery, Vincent Kompany, Xabi Alonso, Cesc Fàbregas, Mikel Arteta, Andoni Iraola, Zidane, José Bordalás, Iñigo Pérez and Del Bosque.

Mourinho’s absence from this list did not go unnoticed, especially given the recent context, in which the Benfica coach has been mentioned as one of the main candidates to return to the Santiago Bernabéu.
