Kylian Mbappé expressed his satisfaction with José Mourinho's return to the Real Madrid bench. The French forward, in statements to the club's official channel, highlighted the profile of the Portuguese coach and the positive impact he has on the squad.
After Álvaro Arbeloa's departure, who had taken over on an interim basis following Xabi Alonso's dismissal, the Merengue is preparing for a new era with Mourinho at the helm. The coach will thus begin his second stint at the institution.
Mbappé did not hesitate to point out the difference that having a leader with such experience makes. “The players are delighted to have a coach who knows where he is going, I think it is positive for us,” the Frenchman stated.
In the same vein, he expanded on his opinion about the virtues of the Portuguese: “It is very positive to have a coach like that, who knows how to win, who knows how to give direction on how to win.” For the forward, that type of leadership is key to the season's objectives.
High expectations for the new cycle
