Vinicius Junior explains to Real Madrid why he’s leaving the club right away

Brazilian winger Vinicius Junior has made it clear that he would leave Real Madrid if Jose Mourinho is appointed as the club’s new head coach. The 25-year-old has communicated this to the club’s management amidst speculation regarding the managerial role.

This decision stems from a past incident during a Champions League match against Benfica, where Vinicius and Mourinho were involved in a verbal confrontation. The history between the two appears to be a significant factor in his stance on Mourinho’s potential return to Madrid.

Currently, there are no official discussions linking Mourinho to a return to Real Madrid. Mourinho previously managed the club from 2010 to 2013, during which he oversaw 178 matches, achieving 127 wins, 28 draws, and 23 defeats.
