Former Valencia and Barcelona star Gaizka Mendieta has shared his thoughts on the rumors surrounding Jose Mourinho's potential return to Real Madrid and a move for Cristiano Ronaldo. While the Portuguese manager's potential return to the Santiago Bernabéu has caused a stir among fans, Mendieta labeled the reunion of this tandem as a "second miracle." This is reported by Goal.com .
In an interview with PlayUK, Mendieta touched upon Ronaldo's current form and his career in Saudi Arabia. He believes that the 41-year-old forward cannot fully meet the demands of a top-tier club like Real Madrid today, and staying with Al-Nassr is the most suitable path for him.
Mendieta was also skeptical about Mourinho's return. He noted that a manager's second stint at a club rarely yields the expected results, and the current Mourinho's style differs significantly from his previous years.
The expert also analyzed Real Madrid's current state, emphasizing that the team needs a new project and fresh players in every position to strengthen the squad. According to him, managing a team under such pressure is a huge risk for any coach.
