Mourinho Denies Talks with Real Madrid

Benfica coach Jose Mourinho, widely rumored to be the next Real Madrid manager, has refuted these claims during a press conference.

"They keep talking about Real Madrid, and for my part, I continue to avoid the topic, honestly. I haven't had any contact with the president or any other club executive. I haven't spoken to anyone since the end of the season," stated the Portuguese specialist.

"I haven't had contact with Real Madrid and I won't have any until the final league match against Estoril," he emphasized, adding, "After that, there will be a week where I can speak with whomever I deem fit, but until then, everything being said and written is pure speculation."
