We're on a mission: Mourinho's tech‑driven start at Valdebebas

Portuguese coach José Mourinho has officially taken the reins at Ciudad Deportiva de Valdebebas, marking his first day at Real Madrid’s training ground. We're told his arrival is driven by a technology‑enabled mission that blends deep discipline with institutional commitment for Los Blancos.

Mourinho stressed that his project is not starting from scratch, but has been carefully structured from afar thanks to today’s tools. He explained, “Words are not enough. We are on a mission. We have been working hard for a long time with the club’s structure at different levels. Nowadays, technology helps a lot and allows progress without being physically present.”

The Portuguese tactician defined the spirit he wants to instill: collective responsibility, ambition and total respect for the badge. He added, “I’m here to help everyone become better. I want to create a culture of work, responsibility, and ambition, built on something I know well: the honor of working for Real Madrid.”

With several first‑team stars temporarily absent due to international duty, Mourinho highlighted a golden opportunity to interact with the youth ranks. He said the situation allows him to closely assess the young talents from Castilla and play a role in their development.

Many of these academy players will remain with Real Madrid Castilla during the year while the club awaits the return of the footballers who took part in the World Cup. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

The juxtaposition of a tech‑driven, disciplined mission with a focus on nurturing Castilla underscores Mourinho’s dual strategy for Los Blancos as the new season approaches. It signals that the manager intends to blend modern tools with traditional club values to shape the squad’s future.
