Jose Mourinho completes first interview as Real Madrid manager

Jose Mourinho is once more back at the Santiago Bernabeu as Real Madrid’s manager for a second time.

His return marked the end of Alvaro Arbeloa’s interim stint as caretaker manager after the departure of Xabi Alonso back in January.

Now, the former Manchester United and Chelsea boss has spoken out about his return on Real Madrid’s official website.

Discussing his initial thoughts, Mourinho commented: Words aren’t enough because it’s like a mission. It’s not about worrying about myself or whether I’ll win a lot or a little”

He continued: I’m here to help everyone improve: players, staff … To create a culture of work, responsibility, ambition, and something I know well, which is the responsibility and honor of working for Real Madrid.

“I really like this concept. It’s not about working at Real Madrid, it’s about working for Real Madrid. And it’s with this sense of mission that I’m here.”

Explaing the work that’s taking place since his arrival, The Special One explained: “We are working very hard. It’s not like I arrived here today and everything started.

“We have been working hard for a long time with the club’s structure at different levels.

“Today, we can work remotely because technology helps us a lot, and today it was practically a matter of arriving and ‘taking control’ of everything that has been done and what we still have to do.

“I’m going to make the most of the next two weeks with a positive attitude because, obviously, I’d like to have all the players here.

“We have to look at it in a positive light, which is getting to know the lads I’m going to work with and giving them the opportunity to get to know me.

“During pre-season, many of those lads will be here at Castilla , and I also like to participate and help with the growth of this area.

“We’re here, and some world champions will arrive. I’m very confident, with a deep feeling of love for this club, and Hala Madrid and nothing else!”
