Nobody at Real Madrid has spoken to me: Mourinho denies contact | OneFootball

The name of José Mourinho is once again hovering around the Real Madrid universe, but the Portuguese coach has decided to put an immediate stop to the speculation.

At the press conference ahead of Benfica’s match this weekend, the Setúbal-born manager denied any contact with the club’s board regarding next season.

"Nobody from Real Madrid has spoken to me. I can guarantee that," the Portuguese coach said bluntly in response to persistent questions from the media.

With these words, Mourinho is seeking to calm things down at a time when rumors about the Bernabéu dugout usually intensify as the football season draws to a close.

The manager pointed to his vast experience to downplay the media noise. He recalled that, after so many years at the top level of football, he knows perfectly well how the press and transfer rumors work. "We’re used to these things," he concluded, putting the matter to rest.
