Jose Mourinho takes full control at Real Madrid as Jorge Valdano leaves the club: La Liga (Part 2)
After ending the season with just a Copa Del Ray title, it was inevitable that some heads were going to roll at Real Madrid. Rivals Barcelona went onto win the La Liga title as well as the UEFA Champions League final against Manchester
United, thus the feeling in Madrid was bitter to say the least. Sour grapes and such examples alike, Florentino Perez finally made the decision to sack Jorge Valdano as the club’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 Director soon after the season came to an end. Eventually, it was Mourinho
who emerged as the winner.
Some sections of Real Madrid’s support were quick in their knee jerk reactions to the season’s unspectacular end as they suggested Jose Mourinho’s dismissal as the club’s manager. Whilst this could have been an option for Perez,
it would have been the worst possible one to take. If Madrid are serious in their chase of perhaps the best club football side ever i.e. Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona, then they will need to retain Mourinho’s services. Admittedly, Jose’s actions did harm Real
Madrid’s reputation in Spanish and European football last season.
Especially the antics he pulled after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 won 2-0 at Santiago Bernabéu in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final. But there is no doubting the fact that Jose is a gifted manager for every one wrong step he
takes, he also makes twenty good decisions, something that fares well in the end for a club of Real Madrid’s stature. Now after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid camp, the Spanish giants have gone English in their approach.
At http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, Jose’s best years came when he was in-charge at the club – both on and off the field. The team’s performances started to deteriorate when Roman Abramovich started to meddle in the manager’s affairs. Now at Real Madrid,
Jose is in full control. In the summer transfer window, the special one will decide which players should stay at Santiago Bernabéu and which players would leave the hallowed turf. Speculations have already begun but now Jose is running a tight rope.
There is no Valdano to share the blame for Madrid’s woeful performances on the field or astounding defeats to Barcelona. Florentino Perez is also a peripheral figure now as he has given the reins of the Real Madrid horse to Jose
Mourinho. If anything goes wrong at Los Blancos now, it will be on Jose’s shoulders. Perez as also made it extremely dangerous for himself. There is no middle man to deal with now as the President is now directly in contact with Mourinho.
A string of bad results and Perez will have to deal with Mourinho himself, something that the Real Madrid club president will surely not look forward to. He has also let down a long standing friend and a trustee in the Real Madrid
camp by sacking Jorge Valdano. Nonetheless, fans of the special one would know that he revels in such a situation. When the new season kicks off in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, Madrid will be gunning for the La Liga title.
Mourinho has already brought in reinforcements for his squad whilst he has also outlined some of his transfer targets. All that is now needed at the club is a bit of support for the charismatic yet opinion diving special one.
