Courtois worried about Jose, Conte Madrid job link
Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is concerned about reports that Antonio Conte or Jose Mourinho could be appointed at the club.
Incumbent Madrid Coach Julen Lopetegui is under increasing pressure at the European champions and could be relieved of his duties by the end of the month.
Belgian international Courtois, who joined Los Blancos from Chelsea this summer, played under both Mourinho and Conte at Stamford Bridge.
“I cannot believe it,” Courtois – as reported as saying to his teammates in the dressing room by El Pais – said out loud, whilst looking pale.
“Here I am the only one who has worked with Conte and with Mourinho. I left London to not have to go through something like that again and now it turns out that Conte comes, and if not, Mourinho.”
Conversely, the shot-stopper is said to be hopeful that current Belgium boss Roberto Martinez – said to be a ‘father figure’ for the Belgian side – could one day take over in Madrid.
