Former Real Madrid midfielder, Guti, has urged the Los Blancos not to appoint Jose Mourinho as their next manager to replace Alvaro Arbeloa at the end of the season.
Arbeloa is expected to leave his role at the end of the season as Real Madrid is set to finish the campaign without any silverware.
However, there are speculations that Mourinho could be brought in to take over from Arbeloa.
Speaking on the development, Guti insisted that Mourinho has passed his prime as a manager, adding that there are better coaches currently that Madrid can appoint instead of the Portuguese.
He said as per GOAL, “Mourinho is a great coach, but I think his prime phase is not now.
“In the sense that he comes from Fenerbahce, he took Benfica at a very bad time, and I think there are coaches in a better state than Mourinho that I would sign.”
Mourinho had coached Madrid in the past between 2010 and 2013.
He won the La Liga title with Madrid, but failed to win the UEFA Champions League.
