Carlo Ancelotti has endorsed Jose Mourinho as the right man to return to Real Madrid, dismissing claims of excessive player power at the club as nonsense. The Italian manager spoke in support of his former rival amid ongoing turmoil at the Bernabeu. Mourinho is seen as the preferred choice to replace interim coach Alvaro Arbeloa.
Ancelotti told The Athletic that Mourinho could excel if he takes charge again. “To be back at Real Madrid, I will be really happy for him,” he said. “He can do a fantastic job, as he always did in all the clubs that he was at.” The comments come as Real Madrid deals with a difficult season marked by internal conflicts and a lack of trophies.
