Real Madrid need to hire Mourinho.—Sneijder

Speaking in an interview with HardRock Bet, Sneijder strongly endorsed José Mourinho as the ideal candidate to manage Real Madrid again, while also criticizing the reactionary nature of football fandom after a petition reportedly circulated among supporters calling for Mbappé to be sold.

Sneijder believes Real Madrid require a very specific type of manager — someone capable not only of handling pressure, but also of commanding a dressing room filled with elite stars and dominant personalities.
