Jose Mourinho's first move after taking over Real Madrid is claimed to be including his former player Pepe in the coaching staff.
Busy days are unfolding at the Spanish giant Real Madrid. After Florentino Perez was re-elected as club president, he brought back world-famous coach Jose Mourinho to the managerial position.
PEPE SURPRISE FROM MOURINHO
While Mourinho's signing is a matter of moments, a surprising name that the Portuguese coach will include in his technical staff has begun to become clear. It has been claimed that Pepe, Real Madrid's legendary center-back who once played for Beşiktaş in the Süper Lig, will return to the club as Mourinho's assistant.
WILL BE MOURINHO'S RIGHT HAND
According to reports in the Spanish press, Pepe, who has ended his active playing career, will join Jose Mourinho's technical team at Real Madrid. Having worn the Real Madrid jersey continuously for 10 years between 2007 and 2017 and inscribed his name among the club's legendary defenders, Pepe will thus don the purple-and-white jersey again years later, this time to serve on the bench.
BEŞİKTAŞ PERIOD
After his contract with Real Madrid ended, the Portuguese star made his way to Turkey and wore the Beşiktaş jersey for 1.5 seasons. Pepe, who put up a remarkable performance with 7 goals and 3 assists in 52 matches for the black-and-white team, transferred to Porto in 2019 and ended his career there.
