Alert! Mbappé wants Mourinho out of Benfica | OneFootball

The name of José Mourinho continues to gather momentum as a possible successor in charge of Real Madrid, at a time when the Spanish club is assessing its future after Arbeloa’s departure, and there is one detail that is fueling that possibility even more thanks to a “merengues” star.

Kylian Mbappé reportedly left a “like” on a post directly linking the Portuguese coach with the Santiago Bernabéu bench. According to the Spanish newspaper Marca, the gesture did not go unnoticed and was interpreted as a possible sign of approval from the French star. Even so, the “like” disappeared shortly afterwards, deepening the mystery surrounding the episode.

The post in question, from the Score90 page, also highlighted Cristiano Ronaldo’s impressive numbers during Mourinho’s time at Real Madrid - 168 goals in three seasons - and raised the question: “How many would Mbappé score under the Portuguese coach?”.

In addition, the same source says that Jorge Mendes has already informed the Spanish club of the figures required to release Mourinho from Benfica, where he is currently based. It has already been reported that Jorge Mendes told the “Special One” to leave Benfica.

For now, everything remains in the realm of speculation, but Mbappé’s simple gesture was enough to reignite the debate in Spain and once again put Mourinho at the center of attention. The Setúbal-born coach managed the “Galácticos” between 2010/2011 and 2012/2013.
