Real Madrid president issues ultimatum to Jose Mourinho
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has reportedly issued an ultimatum to manager Jose Mourinho following a period of poor performance. The Portuguese coach, who returned to the club after 13 years, currently has the team in fourth place in La Liga with only 15 points earned.
Despite receiving significant freedom in the transfer market and several high-profile signings, the team's play has been described as slow and unconvincing. Reports indicate that the club leadership has given Mourinho until Christmas to return the squad to a winning trajectory and significantly improve results. Failure to do so could lead to the immediate termination of his contract.
Mourinho faces a demanding schedule following the international break, including matches against Villarreal, Sevilla, and Barcelona in the league, as well as Champions League fixtures against Roma and RB Leipzig.
