Kylian Mbappe's desire to see José Mourinho return to Real Madrid as manager is now a serious possibility. This comes after Real Madrid's dismal exit from the Champions League, falling 6-4 on aggregate to Bayern Munich, and a significant nine-point gap behind Barcelona in La Liga. With pressure mounting on Alvaro Arbeloa, who took over from Xabi Alonso earlier this season, a managerial change appears imminent.
Recent reports suggest that while Jurgen Klopp was once touted as the next manager, Mbappe has explicitly rejected this idea, favoring Mourinho instead. The French striker has publicly shown support for the former Real Madrid boss by liking a post linking him to the club. This gesture has caught the attention of fans and analysts alike, especially given Mbappe’s influential status.
Mourinho’s future with Benfica remains uncertain as they sit second in the league, trailing Porto by seven points, despite an unbeaten run. Observers note that Real Madrid fans crave a leader with Mourinho's character to restore order within the squad after a series of softer coaching styles. However, previous tensions surrounding Mourinho's management style raise questions about his potential return.
