Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has made history in LaLiga after guiding Los Blancos to a 3-0 victory over Valencia at the weekend.
Mourinho becomes the coach with the highest winning percentage in the competition among managers who have taken charge of at least 100 matches.
The victory marked Mourinho’s 97th league win in 126 matches across his two spells at the Santiago Bernabéu, giving him an impressive winning rate of 77 per cent.
This achievement puts the Portuguese tactician ahead of former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola, who recorded 116 victories in 152 LaLiga matches, representing a 76.3 per cent win rate.
Real Madrid secured all three points against Valencia at the Mestalla, with Federico Valverde, Arda Güler and Kylian Mbappé getting on the scoresheet.
The result extended Madrid’s winning streak in all competitions to eight matches and kept them level with Barcelona at the top of the LaLiga standings.
It also handed Mourinho his 14th victory in 16 matches since returning to the Spanish giants.
According to the historical statistics, Mourinho now leads the ranking of managers with the best LaLiga winning percentages, provided they have managed at least 100 games.
Carlo Ancelotti occupies third position with a 71.1 per cent win rate, followed by Xavi Hernández with 69.6 per cent and Zinedine Zidane with 67.8 per cent.
Meanwhile, Barcelona’s current manager, Hansi Flick, boasts an even higher winning percentage of 79.3 per cent. However, he is not yet eligible for the ranking, having managed just 87 LaLiga matches.
