Tryst with controversy – Mourinho’s Top 10 controversial moments

Marginalising players at Real Madrid

Mourinho’s last season at Real Madrid was one to forget

In his final season at Real Madrid, the club was plagued by a lack of unity. Iker Casillas, who twice represented Spain at the Euros and was also in goal for the La Rojas in the 2010 World Cup, was infamously dropped by Mourinho. It is reported that the club was divided into two factions – Madridistas and Mourinistas, those loyal to the traditional Madrid players and those loyal to Mourinho. This brought disrepute to the club and led to Mourinho’s unceremonious exit from Real Madrid.
