«J’ai compris qu’ils étaient gâtés»: Mourinho raconte comment sa relation avec Casillas s’est détériorée
José Mourinho has revisited the tensions that marked his relationship with Iker Casillas at Real Madrid. In a Netflix documentary about him, the Portuguese manager recounts being quickly taken aback by some of his captain's requests. According to him, Casillas successively asked him for more days off for the Spanish internationals, to reschedule training sessions due to traffic congestion, and then to eliminate some pre-match training camps. " I realized they were being spoiled ," explains Mourinho, who, upon his arrival, believed he had a " fantastic " team, albeit one struggling mentally.
The conflict escalated when Casillas called Xavi to try and calm tensions between the Real Madrid and Barcelona players, who were also teammates on the Spanish national team. Mourinho did not approve of this initiative, given the intense rivalry between the two clubs. The leak of internal information to the press further soured the atmosphere, as the Portuguese manager sought to identify a "mole" in his dressing room. Casillas recounts how the coach became furious after these revelations, while Sami Khedira describes a dressing room that had become " a living hell ." Mourinho finally acknowledged that by 2013, the players and the coach had reached the end of their relationship: " They were fed up with me, and I was fed up with them ."
