According to a report by Madrid Universal on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Jose Mourinho is reportedly pleased with Real Madrid’s current squad and believes the club’s sporting department has done an impressive job in building a competitive team.

The Portuguese manager is said to be satisfied with the quality of his players and the depth available to him as he continues to implement his ideas at the Spanish giants.

Real Madrid’s atmosphere has reportedly improved following their comeback victory over Roma and their 2-1 triumph against Barcelona in the El Clasico.

Mourinho has been credited with playing a significant role in the team’s recent improvement, particularly through his tactical adjustments, which have helped establish a better balance between physicality and technical ability in midfield.

Although adding another midfielder could have strengthened his options, the report indicates that Mourinho does not consider it an urgent requirement, as he believes his current squad has sufficient quality to compete.

Beyond the players’ abilities, the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager is also said to be impressed by their mentality and professionalism. He particularly appreciates their willingness to follow his instructions, embrace his tactical philosophy and respect his decisions.

Mourinho also reportedly has confidence in the club’s hierarchy and is happy with the recruitment strategy that has shaped the current squad. He believes the players are increasingly understanding their responsibilities and working collectively towards the team’s objectives.

Real Madrid will now look to build on their recent progress and maintain their winning momentum as they pursue silverware across all competitions this season.
