Warning, Benfica! Florentino Pérez makes key call on José Mourinho | OneFootball

The international press is in a real uproar this Tuesday, April 28, all because of the rumors linking José Mourinho with Real Madrid. According to what has been learned, certain sources indicate that Florentino Pérez, president of Los Blancos, has already decided that the Benfica manager is the ideal candidate to replace Álvaro Arbeloa.

José Mourinho is first in line to succeed Arbeloa in charge of Los Blancos. It is worth remembering that, if this scenario were to materialize, it would be the Special One’s second spell at the Santiago Bernabéu.

According to the British newspaper, Florentino Pérez is the one dealing with the matter, alone, without seeking help from third parties. This decision-making approach contrasts with the appointment of Xabi Alonso, a process that was led by Real Madrid general director José Ángel Sánchez, with the approval of the top official at Los Blancos.

The Athletic adds that Florentino Pérez’s plan is to restore Real Madrid’s hegemony, and one of the pillars of that plan is to put a firm manager in charge of Los Merengues. The president believes that José Mourinho is the ideal name to revive the European project that declined last season.

Benfica’s manager expressed the desire to return to Real Madrid. .
