The former Real Madrid player spoke about the Portuguese coach's return to Madrid after 13 years, and also commented on Tottenham Hotspur's current situation.

Gareth Bale, who was participating in another golf event in Wales, was interviewed by Sky Sports and asked about José Mourinho's return to Real Madrid after 13 years.

"I don't think anything surprises you in football anymore. José Mourinho is a great coach, and of course, I genuinely wish him all the best. I hope he can win some trophies," he said. Although the two were not teammates at Real Madrid for long, they previously worked together at Tottenham Hotspur.

Bale, who retired in January 2023, had two spells at Tottenham. He called for more patience from the club. "Many new players have arrived, and sometimes it takes time to adapt. The manager has proven he can play attractive football, and I think everyone still trusts him. Adaptation takes time, and I believe if they're given time, everything will be fine," he said, expressing confidence in De Zerbi despite the team scoring just one goal in five matches.

"Qualify for European competition? I hope so. I think given that we finished 17th twice in a row, expectations need to be lower. The team needs to develop, and they already are developing. I hope they can gel soon and start winning," he added.
