Helguera Blasts Arbeloa Appointment and Doubts Mourinho’s Return
Iván Helguera has openly criticised Real Madrid’s decision to promote Álvaro Arbeloa after a brief reserve-team stint. He argues that the team’s drop in standards and fractured dressing room began when the board allowed “zero demands” under an inexperienced coach. Looking ahead, Helguera expressed scepticism over reports of José Mourinho’s potential comeback. While acknowledging Mourinho’s past success, he warned that the former Madrid boss hasn’t coached at the highest level recently and may not fit a squad built on values beyond strict discipline.
