Evra says Mourinho must change something to win LaLiga with Real Madrid
Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra told the SDFN Network that Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho ‘has to change something’ if he is to win the LaLiga title this season. Evra quoted himself saying, “Real Madrid winning LaLiga? Jose Mourinho has to change something at Real Madrid. I can’t debate that,” and added, “I believe it. The transfers, the players he brought in, are to win. He is a winner.” Madrid have not lifted the Spanish league trophy for two straight seasons under coaches Carlo Ancelotti, Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa, and Mourinho was appointed on a three‑year contract to break that drought. Their campaign opens Saturday away at Espanyol’s RCDE Stadium.
The comment matters because it frames Mourinho’s immediate task: deliver a trophy after a barren period, with his recent signings and tactical tweaks under early scrutiny. Fans and analysts will watch the Espanyol opener as an early test of whether the Portuguese can translate his winner mentality into points on the board, especially given the high expectations at the Bernabéu.
If Mourinho secures the LaLiga crown this season, what does that suggest about the balance between managerial change and squad investment in turning around a title‑less run?
