Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappé says he’s looking forward to playing under José Mourinho because of his experience of winning at the highest level, suggesting winning major trophies will happen sooner rather than later.
Madrid president Florentino Pérez opted to try something new off the back of a disappointing 2024–25 campaign overseen by Carlo Ancelotti. He turned to a long-term project led by Xabi Alonso, but the former Madrid midfielder lasted just a few months in the role, leaving at the start of the year.
