The Portuguese coach was once again at the centre of controversy on Saturday night as he entered the pitch 40 minutes before kick-off to let the fans boo him and the 61-year-old believes Mourinho is growing selfish.

“The only winner of that action was Mourinho. But the president knew what to expect when he brought him to Madrid. He has already shown at his previous clubs that he thinks about himself first,” he told La Xarxa.

“Mourinho has not fooled anyone. It’s not his fault that he was brought in and given all the power at the club.

“Perez is Mourinho’s puppet. He is not in control of anything and has no interest in showing that he is actually the boss at Madrid. He has given the coach all the power.”
