Mourinho, calm in the face of noise… and without a call

Jose Mourinho he doesn’t flinch. At this point in his career, the Portuguese coach knows perfectly how the market works and coexists naturally with rumorsespecially when his name appears linked to the real Madrid.

In the last few days, His figure has once again gained strength as a possible replacement on the white bench. The situation of the team, which, barring a culé debacle, points to a season without titles, has ‘pushed’ Florentino Perez to move in search of solutions. And there, once again, Mourinho appears among the candidates.

It’s something I talked about two months ago, weeks ago and a few days ago. I can’t guarantee what will happen

But the reality, today, is much simpler: there has been no contact. Nobody from the white club has called the Portuguese coach, who remains focused on his work with Benfica. His priority is to finish the season well and, publicly, he avoids talking about his future. “Can I guarantee if I will be at Benfica next season? It’s something I talked about two months ago, weeks ago and a few days ago. I can’t guarantee what will happen“he responded at a press conference.

No call…yet

That doesn’t mean I’m oblivious to what’s being said. Mourinho listens, he knows that his name still has weight and that Madrid is a special stage. He always will be because he was happy there despite repeatedly falling short of the goal of La Décima. If that movement comes, I would value it. But it doesn’t go any further.

He has a contract in Lisbon and, except for an unexpected turn, his idea is to respect it. Another thing is that the context changes. Because if football has shown anything, and Mourinho knows it better than anyone, it is that anything can happen quickly. For now, peace of mind. And no phones ringing to find out their situation and viability once the season is over.
