According to reports from Sportthe first major addition to Mourinho’s support staff will be none other than legendary centre-back Pepe.
The 43-year-old, who retired from professional football in 2024, is poised to take his first steps into the coaching world at the club where he spent a decade as a player. Pepe is remembered as one of Mourinho’s most loyal “soldiers” during their shared time in the Spanish capital between 2010 and 2013.
The former Portugal international is viewed as the perfect bridge between the locker room and the management. Mourinho was determined to have a staff member with a deep personal connection to the Blancos. While some had speculated about Alvaro Arbeloa taking on a similar role, it is Pepe who has been chosen to return to the fold.
