dayokanu: Saying a coach that won 1 league in 3 yrs, and is 13 points behind the league leader is one of the Best Madrid has produced is an insult to the likes of Capello, Heyckenes, Del Bosque and even Schuster (In recent times)

Its plain football illiteracy to claim a coach who won 1 title is one of the best Madrid coaches of all time.

This is Madrid best club in Europe and not Chelsea or Man City

dayokanu: It must be very depressing for a Madrid fan to start celebrating Chelsea win, What next to celebrate Man City and Swansea

Is this what failure turns someone into?

Na those German clubs I blame though for kicking Madrid out of CL twice in a row

dayokanu: So how did a coach who ended the season 13 points behind the leaders become one of the best in Madrid history

dayokanu: Drogba was already a top striker from his time in Marseille, So how did he become Mourinho trained.

And since when has a Madrid fan started celebrating Chelsea triumphs.

Isnt there any shame in the world anymore?

Like an AC Milan fan celebrating Man Citeh

dayokanu: I dey laugh ooo

1 league in 3 years = Best coach in Madrid history

dayokanu: Which team was this? Real madrid? Why has Real Madrid been bitchslapped every time they meet German opposition

I know this must be one of the fans who started watching football in 2006

Who didnt know Drogba was one of the best striker in Europe from his time in Marseille

dayokanu: A coach who won 1 league, 1 Copa de rey and one Super Copa in 3 seasons is one of the most successful in the history of Real Madrid?

ddippset: So valdano gets his precious last laugh. I hope karanka resigns as well, since he was always mourinho'sa b1tch.

dayokanu: Isnt it funny that the 3rd rate Liga has molested Madrid 2 seasons in a row.

When was the last time madrid won in Germany?

And I can tell you how many times Munich has mauled madrid in front of their fans

dayokanu: FBS and Usbcable dey yarn like they started watching madrid yesterday

Who is Jose Mourinho when discussing Real madrid?

Fact is Mourinho had more free hand than any other coach in Madrid history, Didnt Perez sack club legend Valdano for him

Mourinho Can work in smaller clubs that are not used to winning E.g FC Porto that arent European heavyweight, Chelsea that havent won the league in 50yrs or Inter that was useless

Not at a Big club like madrid, barca < bayern etc that have a culture of winning before Mourinho was even conceived.

Jose Mourinho is used to being the only Superstar in the team and that cant happen with Madrid.

Madrid lost a CL semi final, Less than 5 mins later while the people who really Love the club are still mourning and crying Mourinho was already talking about they dont love me I am going to where I am loved. What a douchebag.

Let him go to his small clubs and be their alpha and Omega

If he ever steps into Bayern, Ulli, Rummenigge and Beckenbauer would eat him for breakfast

AjanleKoko: You funny bros.
You're talking as if Madrid never had a good coach before Jose, or like he is the best coach that ever sat in the Blancos dugout.

In Capello's first coming in 1996, he totally changed the dynamic of a sinking Madrid, and put them back as domestic contenders, after Cryuff's Barca had been kicking their asses for 5 years. Jupp Heynckes ended up using the same team to win the UCL in 1998. I don't see anybody singing Capello's praises or giving him the due respect for his achievements at your club.

I don't know how Carlo will do, but I don't think it will be as bad as you think. Who knows if he might be the one to deliver the precious Decima. Which is the problem we have with Mou. If that happens, he will find a way to indirectly claim the credit, like he's been doing with Chelsea.

On the Chelsea matter, it is even ironic that they have won their most important titles when Mou was not at the helm. What has Porto or Inter won since he left? That tells you something significant: other coaches have also been working.

FBS: You got that right. I personally refused to watch their matches (for a long while) when they sacked Del Bosque and thereafter Hierro and co left.
Casillas I can still assume will want to prove himself again but heck ramos na one yeye guy. can't count how many times he let the team down this season especially.

The whole of NL knows that JM is my fav manager. Whether he comes "home" to Chelsea is a different matter.
Certainly though, I think he is ALL fired UP for his next challenge, wherever that may be.
For me, I think he achieved at Real minus the UCL trophy. That was his target.

PS: Carlo will be Real's next manager as Rafa is on his way to PSG.
Manager merry go round. What a fantastic job.

sucess001: Bros...u re beginning to sound like Nigerian politicians. So cos pple give u facts and figures to show mou underperformed, u say they hate him.

How come pple don't hate sir alex, guardiola, del bosque, Klopp or heynches.

Pep won 7 trophies in 2 seasons with mou and mou won 3 in 3 seasons.

And wats so special bout 100 points? Even Tito is set to equal dt record.

Pellegrini had 96 points with even lower quality of players!

And u want us to believe d madrid hierachy re sooo happy with his performance yet they 'sack' him?

Bros...have u seen a club dt wud say bad tins about their outgoing coach? Or re u a learner?

[size=25pt]Florentino Perez: “We reached an agreement with Jose Mourinho to end our relationship at the end of this season”[/size]



Florentino Perez gave a much-anticipated press conference at the Santiago Bernabeu’s president’s box once the club’s board of directors meeting concluded. The president opened his statement by announcing two decisions: “The first is that, after speaking with our manager Jose Mourinho, we’ve agreed to end our contractual relationship at the end of this season. The club and manager agree the timing is right to bring our relationship to an end. On behalf of the board of directors, I would like to thank Jose Mourinho for all his hard work over the last three years. With Mourinho, we made a big leap competitively and sporting-wise. We wish him all the best. The second decision is that, once heard by the board, and in accordance with Article 38b of the Bylaws, as Real Madrid’s president I announced that I’m calling for the established process to hold elections for the President and the Board, elections that, according to mandatory deadlines, should be held this 16 June. I’ve made the decision to stand in these elections and I’ll present my candidacy in the coming days”.


When asked about the reasons for “dismissing” Jose Mourinho, Perez replied: “The question has nothing to do with reality. It was a mutual decision, no one has been dismissed”. Regarding the conversation with the Portuguese boss, Perez said: “When you’re here it’s never nice when you have to leave, but after three years we agreed that the timing was right to end this relationship and we want to thank him for his hard work. We had a frank conversation and we talked about issues that could be solved. He’s the longest-serving manager in the 1st Division. Personally, Mourinho thinks that it’s better to leave the club and I think it’s the right decision to embark on a new project”.

Asked about what were the highs and lows about Mourinho’s time as Real’s manager, Florentino Perez replied: “They way we see it, the balance of Mourinho's time here is that we have made a very important qualitative leap both competitively and sporting-wise. We are back where this club should be; prior to his arrival we were knocked out in the Champions League round of 16 and were not even seeded. The balance is positive. A year ago we were all delighted with the squad’s season and “La Liga of records”. This year, making it to the Champions semi-finals, a Cup final and second in La Liga, would maybe be enough for mere mortals but not for a club like this. We’re demanding and proud to be so. Our culture is to win. The balance is positive, but we don’t consider this season enough because the club and Mourinho have such a high level of expectations”.

Florentino Perez was clear on whether Mourinho’s exit would force the club to pay compensation: “There’s no compensation. Mourinho said that in a press conference and I’m repeating it. I would have liked him to continue because I believe in stability, but the level of pressure has increased in such a way that people reach their limit”. About if the mutual decisions is made for the good of the club, the president said: “Every coach has his personality, but his level of expectation and competitiveness is unhesitating. He’s made mistakes and he’s apologized, but the level of pressure that he lives with isn’t normal. We’re used to the pressure, but there are also times that have surpassed the limits of what’s normal. This is a club that is used to living with pressure and when I arrived in 2000 I struggled to get used to it because many people want to exert their influence. This is something that happens sometimes with this pressure and Mourinho told me that in England a match lasts for two hours before the game and two hours after, and here you live it seven days a week and 24 hours a day. People aren’t used to that and can only handle it through experience. On the other hand, that’s what makes this club great, because you can’t rest, not even for a day. But there’s pressure that goes beyond what’s reasonable, with insults and defamatory comments; everyone has a family and children”.

Regarding the relationship between Mourinho and his players, Perez was clear: “We always respect the technical decisions the manager makes. These things have happened, happen and will continue to happen in Real Madrid. The most important thing is that we’re united as members. Economic and institutional stability will ensure that we hold on to our identity and today is a sad day because someone is leaving. This club will always remember him because he gave us a competitive leap. We were unlucky in the three Champions semi-finals. We could have made it to the finals. He’s a very demanding coach with himself and with others. He’s very competitive and that can wear someone out”. When asked whether, as president, he over-protected the manager or players, Perez replied: “I’ve stayed away from issues dealing with the players in this new phase and I haven’t disturbed the manager or the players”.


Regarding whether Mourinho’s failure is also Florentino Perez’s failure, the president said: “If you tell someone else that it’s been a failure with the level of success that we have it doesn’t match reality and it would be unfair. In our culture it’s not enough, but the important thing is that we’re back to where we should be. Our club is more united than ever. When I became president four years ago the club was going through a turbulent time, something we have to remember so that it doesn’t happen again. The members are now more united than ever”. When asked why Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t collect the runner-up Cup medals, Florentino Perez replied: “I imagine they didn’t go because they were sanctioned”.

In terms of the profile that the new first team manager should have, the club president commented: “We have no pre-contract signed with any managerial candidate. It’s something we’ll have to look into in the coming days. This is a club that’s open to the world and we don’t place limits on anything. We want whoever it is to be someone who will help us to continue to improve because we now have a solid economic and institutional stability and a sporting level that we must never lose”. About the possible arrival of Ancelotti, Perez said: “We have the utmost respect for PSG. A few days ago the general manager went to talk with the PSG president to discuss the possibility of signing Ancelotti because we thought his contract was coming to an end. But since it’s not an issue that we’re going to solve tomorrow, we’ll think about a manager later. There are several options”.

In terms of the possible role Zidane will play in his candidacy, Florentino Perez said: “It’s not a topic to talk about today. There will be an open electoral process in the coming days and that will be the time to talk about what we plan to do. Zidane is a player that all Madrid fans and members carry in their hearts because of the way he played and for his values. He’s on track to be a manager and we haven’t spoken to him again. He’s one of the club’s assets”. To conclude, Perez commented on possible opponents in the election: “Except in the last few there have always been candidates and it’s healthy if there are”.

AjanleKoko:

I laugh in Catalan.
He has truly agonised us with his 2.5 trophies. We have even won more trophies with him around

FBS: Real are looking for a yes man and I think they will have it very soon.

Me thinks JM would have left even last season had he won the UCL then. He came close again but well, lost out.

This season everyone knew he would leave even before the it started. He orchestrated every single move to be pushed out.

Meanwhile, I think Ramos is one silly guy!

AjanleKoko: Source: here

Wahala90: You guys are setting your own standards to judge Mou: win La decima, break Barca's dominance etc. Nobody has been able to show us a proof that these are the mandates according to the contract signed. These are all your own standards. Even when Madrid said Mou has taken them to a better level, you still argue. It is funny. For me, it is very clear that you guys just hate Mou. For example, you are still adamant that receiving a higher pay means you are a better-performing player. With the highest point and highest goals ever in the history of LaLiga, you still claim the man doesn't play attacking football. Take a look at these scores:

UEFA 2009/2010
Aggregate: Inter 3-1 Chelsea
Aggregate: Inter 2-0 CSKA Moscow
Aggregate: Inter 3-2 Barca
Inter 2-0 Bayern Munich

Mou conquered Europe by scoring more than his opponents who claim to be playing attacking football.

AjanleKoko: Press conference called for 7pm BST this evening. Perez to address the press.

Outcome is anyone's guess.

AjanleKoko: Interesting conundrum coming up sha.

- Mou wants to leave, but wants to be fired, so the club can pay him.
- Perez wants Mou to leave, but prefers not to fire him, so Chelsea(?) can buy out his contract.
- Carlotti wants to go to Madrid to replace Mou. Nasser al-Khelaifi says no way, if Madrid wants him, they have to buy out his contract.

Looks to me like Mou will be forced to stay one more year. Might actually be the best solution, but he should be ready to risk not winning any title. This Casillas camp go surely fall him hand like they did Friday night

. . . or Perez bites the bullet and gets rid of Casillas, Ramos, Pepe, and all the other recalcitrant Madridistas

The second solution might work but it will be mad expensive, and might turn the tide of popular support against the club for good.
Might be better in reality to plan a buyout of Ancelotti's contract, and wait for Chelsea(?) to pay for Jose. Baba Olowo is likely to drop if he needs Jose.

Tough decisions for Florentino in an election year.

sebod: Mr Mou is a great coach but i have always believed he is overated!

BERNIMOORE: [size=18pt]Are these real madrid side GALATICOS?[/size]

LETS SEE,

REAL GALACTICOS WON 2 CHAMPIONS LG AND 5 OTHER CUPS BTW 1999-2003.(Vincente Del Bosque)

FAKE MOURINHOS FAKE-LACTICOS NO CHAMPIONS LG, 2 CUPS AND I CEREMONIAL CUP 2O10-2013.(Jose dos santos Mourinho)

Rexxie: Only two clubs in the world that live up to expectation: ManU and Barcelona..
Poor MOURNrinho.

dvcol: remember he has d most expensive squad in world football let me ask Was Mancini's stay at city bad?

fredoooooo: reason why i hate mou and real madrid . how can you treat such a cool headed guy in that manner

logica: Sore loser. Graceless in defeat as ever. Guardiola had lost games which Barca should have won but always paid the opponent homage. Not this one for obvious reasons: overinflated ego that should see plenty of deflation in years to come.
