Jose Mourinho proud of Real Madrid win percentage as he makes La Liga history

Jose Mourinho guided Real Madrid to a 3-0 victory over Valencia on Saturday, marking his eighth consecutive win and making a notable entry in La Liga history. The Spanish giants, led by their manager, showcased their dominance with first-half goals from Federico Valverde, Arda Guler, and Kylian Mbappe. Currently, Real Madrid sits second in the league table, trailing leaders Barcelona by just a few points and gearing up to face Atletico Madrid in their next match.

Mourinho's record of 14 wins from 16 games since his return to the Bernabeu has propelled him to the forefront as the manager with the highest win percentage in Spain's top flight, surpassing the likes of Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti. The 63-year-old manager emphasized the importance of securing the next win, urging his team to focus on the present rather than dwelling on past statistics.

Mourinho also expressed concerns over player fatigue, with his squad preparing to embark on international duty and potentially face two national team matches in the coming week. Despite the fatigue worries, Mourinho saw an opportunity for his Brazil-based players, Vinicius Jr and Endrick, to return to the field. He refused to comment on his potential future role as a national team coach, stating that he would be demanding if ever given the chance.

Mourinho hinted that he might not contact current coaches, citing his desire to maintain a demanding approach towards the clubs and players.
