There are multiple reports over the last few days that the players are irritated with Alvaro Arbeloa and are looking for a new tactician, but could look back for the return of Mourinho.

He had first taken the job when leaving Inter in the wake of their Treble triumph of 2010, where they won the Scudetto, Champions League and Coppa Italia.

In order to come back, it’s reported Mourinho has a list of demands that were set out during a video call with President Florentino Perez.

They included a request that Real Madrid fire Italian fitness coach Pintus, a 63-year-old who has had several different spells with the Merengues.

He first joined them from 2016 to 2019, then went to work with Antonio Conte at Inter from 2019-21.

There was a return to Real Madrid that summer, working as performance manager and fitness coach in various roles.

Pintus has also worked at Juventus, Chelsea, Sunderland, Olympique Marseille and other clubs.

It is not clear why Mourinho is so dead set against keeping the Italian as part of his coaching staff.

Among the other requests, the Special One also wants at least a two-year contract, for the club to appoint a formal spokesman (something he had already complained about with Roma), absolute independence on sporting decisions, and allowing players to seek a second medical opinion on injuries.

Los Angeles Dodgers do-it-all player Kike Hernandez was able to do something that the 2026 Dodgers have not been able to do consistently — hit the baseball.

On Tuesday, Hernandez made his 2026 baseball season debut with the Oklahoma City Comets in Triple-A.

He went 1-for-3 with a double in his first taste of baseball since the 2025 World Series vs. the Toronto Blue Jays.

Hernandez is only weeks away from coming back if his recovery from offseason elbow surgery is completed as expected. His performance on Tuesday shows that he is indeed close, though it will be measured by how he handles recovery after consecutive days of play.

Hernandez is not the only player who is rehabilitating with the Comets. He is joining Brusdar Graterol, the reliever who has not played in an MLB game since the 2024 World Series.

Additionally, Blake Snell is traveling with the team. The southpaw will make at least a start before joining the team later this month.

Kike Hernandez’s impressive recovery

Hernandez has done a great job of making sure that he is ready as soon as possible. He started the season on the 60-day injured list after his surgery, and he has continued to make steady progress from the start of spring until now.

“Feeling great, man. We’re really ahead of schedule, which is a good thing. Left elbow surgery, they put me on the 60-day (injured list), so I’ve still got to wait,” Hernandez said a few weeks ago.

“I am eligible to come off on the 24th (of May), but chances are I’m going to be active on the 25th if everything goes well, according to plan the rest of the way, rehab assignment. The 24th is a day game in Milwaukee, and I would rather play at home than the road.”

His recovery is impressive, especially given how complicated Tommy Edman’s journey has been. The switch-hitter is struggling with setbacks, something Hernandez has avoided for months.

Now, Hernandez is right near the finish line of getting back on the field, and his presence will be welcomed on the field if he has hitting days like Tuesday more often than he did in 2025.

Ousmane Dembélé grins when he says that, if he does not press, he will be benched by Luis Enrique. The Ballon d’Or winner does not do his defensive work under duress. Like the rest of his teammates, he seems to derive enjoyment from a part of the game that was once seen as unnatural. Attackers would attack and defenders would defend; simple rules for a simple game. But demands have changed.

The forward line of Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi and Neymar was a mouthwatering prospect but they failed to take Paris Saint‑Germain close to a Champions League title and there was a lack of joy in their work. All attack and no defend made PSG a dull watch. There was a lesson in their failure: that football had changed and matches could not be won by the sheer weight of their attacking talent.

Omer Osman: Bobby Webster on Brandon Ingram’s fit in his first season with Toronto, and if he sees BI as a long-term fit with this group: “By all accounts, I think Brandon fit in, and I think now this is the time for him to continue to improve shooting, get bigger, get stronger.” “I think having two All-Stars in Scottie [Barnes] and Brandon was a great, great season.”
