Jose Mourinho is seemingly looking to leave his mark at the club during his second stint with Real Madrid.
Real Madrid kickstarted life under Jose Mourinho's management with a 2-1 win over Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium this past weekend.
The veteran manager's decision to bring on Los Blancos' latest summer signing, Carlos Espi, in the 80th minute proved fruitful, as the young striker scored the winner for his new club in the dying minutes.
Despite having a pretty decent pre-season campaign, Mourinho's Los Blancos looked to be a work in progress during their first game of the season.
However, the Portuguese manager will look to make it work one game at a time and finally end the trophy drought for the Merengues.
But as it seems, Mourinho is not only thinking about this season or the next one; his plans during this second stint with the Whites look to be a bit broader.
During a recent interview with journalist Jose Pedrelol, Mourinho talked about his vision, saying (h/t Chiringuito Inside), "I want to contribute in the present and the future. I want, obviously, to win. I want Real Madrid to win again, which is its natural condition. But, in the same way that I did the first time,
"I don’t want to change this feeling that a coach’s job is not just the moment; it’s also the preparation of a future."
Going by his words, Mourinho is seemingly looking to leave a legacy of his own at Real Madrid during his second stint at the club.
Florentino Perez's decision to bring in the Portuguese manager following the Whites' disastrous campaign last term had a lot of criticism during the initial days of the manager's appointment.
There were doubts about whether the charismatic manager's ego would be welcomed by the players at Real Madrid.
But the new visuals inside the training facilities tell a completely different story, as the squad is seemingly adapting really well to the Portuguese manager's ways and means.
Mourinho certainly looks to be a different man than he was during his first stint at the Bernabéu; the veteran manager has seemingly adapted to a much calmer approach to the game than before.
Los Blancos has always been a club which has shown the way for the future while keeping their rich history in mind from the past decades.
Undoubtedly, the Whites have never compromised on success, but at the same time they have also made sure to uphold the values of the legendary club before everything else.
As it seems, the Portuguese manager looks to be the most capable person to carry forward the values and legacy of the Whites at this time and hopefully etch his name into Los Blancos' history books once again.
