"Benfica" head coach Jose Mourinho commented on Alvaro Arbeloa's appointment as "Real Madrid" head coach before the teams' Champions League round of 8 match.
Idman.Biz reports that the game will be held on January 28.
"They are all my children, that is, my former players. Arbeloa was one of my favorite players. He was one of the best people to play for "Real Madrid". He was the last person you could put pressure on. Alvaro is very smart about his work. I hope everything goes well for him and he will have a fantastic career.
Arbeloa can coach any team in the world and I wish him success, except for the upcoming game. May he always win after that. Being a coach is very difficult, especially when there will be someone who thinks he knows more than you. Alvaro, who is just starting out, should really enjoy coaching", - "A Bola" quotes Mourinho.
The Spanish expert played for "Real Madrid" under Mourinho from 2010 to 2013. During this period, "Los Blancos" won the Spanish League, the King's Cup and the Spanish Super Cup.
