The Rayo Vallecano coach, the club that is Real Madrid's next opponent in La Liga, was asked which player he would like to take from the "merengues". His surprising answer was that he would take José Mourinho, the Portuguese coach, rather than any player from the Madrid side.
Mourinho's Portuguese counterpart was described by the Rayo Vallecano coach as "one of the best coaches in football history", showing great admiration for the work carried out by Mourinho throughout his sporting career.
The article comes in the context of preparation for Rayo Vallecano's next match against Real Madrid in La Liga, where attention is focused on the figure of the Portuguese coach who currently manages the merengue team.
The Rayo Vallecano coach's statement highlights the high regard that Mourinho still inspires in sporting circles, even among opponents who would prefer to have his technical services rather than any star from Real Madrid's current squad.
