Real Madrid has entered a period of significant transition under head coach José Mourinho, marked by both squad restructuring and a tightening of internal discipline. To manage the squad, Mourinho has implemented a strict new disciplinary code at the Valdebebas training center. The regulations include mandatory arrival one hour before sessions, immediate isolation for latecomers, and automatic match exclusion for missed training. Eschewing financial fines, which Mourinho deems ineffective for high earners like Kylian Mbappé, the manager is utilizing playing time as a primary deterrent. Furthermore, the club now mandates that all injury rehabilitation be conducted exclusively under club medical supervision and requires strict adherence to prescribed dietary plans. Off the pitch, the club is navigating legal and transfer complexities. Defender Raúl Asencio was recently acquitted of charges involving the distribution of sexually explicit content, though Mourinho expressed dissatisfaction with Asencio’s professional standards following a separate incident involving driving under the influence.
