Real Madrid have reportedly made significant changes to their sporting structure, with José Mourinho now enjoying unprecedented influence over the club’s transfer policy. According to reports, the Portuguese coach has become one of the key decision-makers behind the scenes.
According to Defensa Central, Mourinho is no longer focused solely on managing the first team. He is also said to play a central role in identifying and approving transfer targets, effectively operating as the club’s sporting director alongside his coaching duties.
