Bale: I expect Mourinho to bring stability to Real Madrid

Wales legend Gareth Bale says that Real Madrid coach José Mourinho is ideally suited to restore stability to the squad and align the team.

In a conversation with AS, Bale noted that Mourinho knows how to motivate players, whether by applying media pressure or offering personal support when necessary.

“After having an experienced coach like Carlo Ancelotti, I expect José to stabilise the group and get everyone on the same page.”

“He pushes you to bring out your best level as a player, he’ll try to understand each player, and find whatever it takes to make them function.”

“Sometimes that might mean putting pressure on someone in midfield, sometimes it might just be giving them a hug. He’s been at Real Madrid before, so he understands the dynamics of the club and he knows how things work. He’ll come up with a plan to make it work.”

José Mourinho’s return as Real Madrid manager is a direct mandate from club president Florentino Pérez to restore defensive steel and dressing room authority after two consecutive trophy‑less seasons.

Backed by significant transfer authority and total control of the squad, he is tasked with stabilising the team to win immediately.

To achieve this, the club has aggressively shifted its transfer strategy away from long‑term prospects, prioritising experienced “win‑now” players to shore up problem areas.

Whether this aggressive shift returns Los Blancos to their winning ways or creates the typical volatility associated with his managerial stints remains a highly debated topic among supporters.
