Militão: Mourinho is a great coach, I can't wait for next season

Real Madrid's central defender, Eder Militão, has voiced his positive outlook on José Mourinho's return to the Santiago Bernabéu on a three-year deal. The Brazilian defender, currently recovering from an injury that sidelined him from the World Cup, expressed his optimism about working under the Portuguese coach next season.

“He’s a great coach. I’m really looking forward to next season. On a personal level, life has its ups and downs. The important thing is to be mentally sound. If your head is in the right place and you’re good with your family, everything goes better,” Militão commented.

The Brazilian defender also touched upon the psychological toll of his physical setback, adding: “Initially, it didn’t seem serious. I went to the locker room, they ran some tests, and nothing was clear. Then the diagnosis came. Obviously, so many injuries affect you psychologically, but they also give you experience. Before, I was a very explosive player, and now I have more maturity and don’t rely as much on speed.”
