Jude Bellingham responds to José Mourinho’s Real Madrid return | OneFootball

Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham has provided his take on the club’s decision to appoint José Mourinho as manager for the seasons to come.

And the Englishman’s comments suggest that he is fully aligned with Florentino Pérez and co. regarding the call.

Legendary tactician Mourinho was of course announced as the latest installation on the Real Madrid bench earlier this month, marking a return to Spain’s capital for the Portuguese.

‘Mou’ is understood to have been identified as the ideal profile to restore order and harmony in a fractured dressing room at Valdebebas, fresh off a 2nd successive trophyless campaign in 2025/26.

One Blancos star expected to play a leading role in Mourinho’s setup is the aforementioned Jude Bellingham, held in high regard by his new manager.

Speaking during an exchange with the media this week, the Englishman was therefore drawn on Mourinho’s Bernabéu comeback.

And Bellingham appears to be fully behind the appointment, having responded:

“José Mourinho at Real Madrid? Amazing, amazing. He’s a top, top manager. I’m very happy.”
