Mbappe appreciated Mourinho's return to Real

Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe shared his impressions of working with the head coach of the Madrid team, Jose Mourinho. "Even long before his appointment, I was very interested to get to know him personally, because during the last quarter of a century he remained one of the key figures of world football. When such a personality comes to your club, you are eager to see for yourself what true greatness is. It is a great honor and privilege for us to work with him," said Mbappe. Real announced the appointment of Mourinho in July 2026, concluding an agreement with the Portuguese manager until the summer of 2029. Previously, the Portuguese had already led the "cream" in the period from 2010 to 2013. Real's position on Mourinho's future became known earlier.
