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

Iker Casillas has spoken out again about the future of Real Madrid’s managerial position and, this time, he did so even more directly and pointedly, 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 view José Mourinho’s return to the Real Madrid bench favorably, although he stressed that there is no personal conflict with the Portuguese coach. Now, he went even further and decided to share a list of names that, in his opinion, could take charge of the "blancos" in the immediate future, leaving out the very coach who has been most strongly linked with the role.

In the post, the former Spain international wrote several coaches’ names that 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.
