Jose Mourinho is a frequent topic of discussion in Spanish media, who are convinced he will replace Álvaro Arbeloa as the coach of Real Madrid. Mourinho was the club's coach from 2010 to 2013, during which time he helped Real win the Spanish league in the 2011/12 season. He also facilitated the transfer of Luka Modrić from Tottenham to Madrid. Modrić played for Real until last year and left as the most decorated player in the club's history, with 28 trophies.

Speaking at a press conference, current coach Álvaro Arbeloa addressed the possibility of Mourinho replacing him. He also commented on the recent statements by Kylian Mbappé in the Spanish media, emphasizing that their relationship is not affected. For more on this dispute, read here.

On Mourinho

"I don't fully understand the rumors about a situation beyond control. I disagree with that. When the club makes a decision, it will announce it when it deems the time right. As a madridista, I feel he is number one. I said the same in the Premier League. I thought this a month ago and I will continue to think so. He will always be 'one of us.' If he returns, I would be very happy to have him back home."

On Mbappé

"I just saw him and told him to be calm. It may seem like news, but what he said is something we've already discussed. It's normal. I understand what it's like to play every day, and I understand what it's like not to play. I get that. I know he wasn't satisfied, and I like that. I wouldn't understand if Kylian didn't want to play."
