EXCLUSIVE: Silvestre claims Mourinho would be one defeat away from a 'crisis' at Real

Real Madrids 2-0 loss against Barcelona in the recent Clasico match allowed their fiercest competitors to secure the LaLiga title and marked the clubs first trophyless run over two successive years in two decades.

A season to forget

The renowned Spanish outfit appears deeply divided with leading stars clashing during sessions, their standout performer Kylian Mbappe facing jeers and disdain from supporters, and chairman Florentino Perez resisting calls to resign.

In an interview with Tribal Football through Betpack, Silvestre discussed the turmoil at Madrid and suggested that the intense reactions to the dismal campaign might indicate underlying commitment.

If there were no reactions following such a disappointing year without silverware, that would raise concerns. Thus, it shows vitality and individuals who are invested, leading to confrontations because they disapprove of the current trajectory.

They simply must resolve these matters and foster genuine unity for the upcoming campaign, uniting towards a shared goal.

It is utter disarray, they fell to Barca and indeed, it is a year they would rather erase. One must acknowledge the outcomes and learn from them. Regarding achievements, absolutely none.

Mourinho would be one loss away from drama

While Madrid seeks remedies, focus has shifted to their ex manager Jose Mourinho, who although accomplished has not claimed a domestic championship in over a decade and has faced dismissal or abrupt exits in five of his previous six positions.

During his tenure at Madrid from 2010 to 2013, Mourinho secured LaLiga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup, positioning him as the leading candidate to replace Alvaro Arbeloa shortly.

Reports indicate advanced discussions for his potential return, bolstered by his solid rapport with Perez. Reviving this Madrid squad poses a monumental challenge, yet Mourinho stands out as the ideal figure to achieve it.

Silvestre addressed the iconic coach, asserting that he would perpetually teeter on the edge of dismissal or heightening strains within an already tense squad.

It is an unusual scenario, yet Jose Mourinho is familiar with the institution and Florentino Perez understands him well. It aligns precisely with their current requirements, given the numerous challenges both on the field and beyond.

He possesses the personality and insight into Real Madrids essence. That said, it would be intriguing to observe the dynamic between him and Vinicius Junior following his inappropriate remark from the touchline during the Benfica-Real Madrid encounter.

Managing this squad demands a robust personality to withstand the demands from supporters and press. A single setback could spark outrage or turmoil.

I do not anticipate conflicts between Mourinho and Kylian Mbappe, as both share the ambition to claim honours. That is their motivation for excelling at Madrid. It is why they signed with the club, embracing the high stakes while yearning to shine under intense scrutiny.

That is where they excel, so I believe they would align and collaborate effectively.
