Mbappé Sparks Real Madrid Manager Rumours With Mysterious Social Media Activity

The Spanish giants are heading toward a disappointing campaign, having exited all cup competitions and now trailing Barcelona by nine points with six matches left in La Liga. The situation has reportedly increased pressure on head coach Álvaro Arbeloa, with his future at the club still uncertain.

Club president Florentino Pérez is expected to reassess the coaching situation at the end of the season, with several names already being linked to the job. Among them is former Real Madrid boss José Mourinho, who is currently managing Benfica. Mourinho previously led the club between 2010 and 2013, winning La Liga with a record 100 points, alongside the Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup.

Interest in the speculation grew after Mbappé was seen liking a social media post that praised Mourinho’s win record and his influence on Cristiano Ronaldo during their time together at the Bernabéu.

Ahead of Real Madrid’s match against Real Betis, Arbeloa played down the significance of the online activity, saying it had no impact on him or the team.

He stressed that his focus remains on performance and results, adding that his responsibility is to ensure professionalism and respect for the club’s badge. Arbeloa also noted that motivating the squad is not his primary task, as the players already maintain very high standards for themselves.

Real Madrid are now entering a crucial run of fixtures, including a trip to Barcelona on May 10, before concluding the season with a mix of home and away matches.
