Real Madrid: José Mourinho imposes a new discipline in the dressing room

José Mourinho has clearly lost none of his taste for discipline. Back on the Real Madrid bench this summer, the Portuguese coach intends to quickly implement his methods and put an end to certain habits he considers too permissive within the club.

According to reports from AS, the manager has already made several changes to the daily routine of the Real Madrid players. The first concerns their diet. Visits to the club nutritionist are no longer optional. Each player is now required to consult the specialist, who then creates a personalized meal plan, from breakfast to afternoon snack.

Mourinho has also tightened the rules regarding punctuality. Players are now required to arrive at the training ground an hour before the start of the group session. This measure is intended to promote better preparation and instill greater discipline within the team.

Another notable change: lateness is no longer systematically punished with fines. Instead, the players involved are sent to do individual training in the gym, away from their teammates. This is Mourinho's way of prioritizing sporting discipline and reinforcing his demands without necessarily resorting to financial penalties.

The Portuguese manager also addressed injury management. Unavailable players must now remain under the supervision of Real Madrid's medical staff. Even if they wish to use a personal trainer, they are required to report to the training ground twice a day, in the morning and afternoon, so that their recovery can be monitored by the club's medical teams.

With these new directives, José Mourinho is clearly stating his intentions: to establish a much stricter framework and regain control of all aspects of his team's preparation. It remains to be seen how the Real Madrid players will adapt to this increased discipline as the season progresses.
