According to a report from AS correspondent Jose Felix Diaz, Real Madrid's position is clear: the head coach is the authorized representative of the club to speak on all matters concerning the first team.

Real Madrid's unified and firm stance is that Mourinho is the spokesperson. There is consensus at all levels of the club that there is no alternative; the head coach is the most direct representative.

What Mourinho said after the match against Atlético Madrid reflects the club's thinking. At the press conference at the Cívitas Metropolitano, Mourinho's words and actions were not the result of momentary excitement, but a carefully considered response reflecting the club's true opinions on all matters related to refereeing.

Real Madrid's stance is unequivocal: the head coach is the authorized representative to speak on matters concerning the first team at any time, and this will continue. Both parties are in strong agreement and perfectly aligned. Mourinho is and will continue to be the voice, acting as Real Madrid's direct channel to express its position externally.

Yesterday, both during and after the match, the club's opinion was clear, pointing to the significant impact on the game following two refereeing decisions. The same message was communicated throughout the club, which Mourinho subsequently articulated at the press conference.

In fact, Real Madrid had already made clear on Sunday morning that it did not understand the decision to appoint Ortiz to referee the derby, citing his recent interactions with Barcelona players. The club chose Real Madrid TV this time, an alternative way to convey its thoughts.

Mourinho initially preferred to remain calm and discreet, maintaining continuous communication with the club. However, after just the first seven rounds of La Liga, controversial refereeing decisions continued to accumulate, ultimately becoming the first strong signal the club officially sent to the refereeing community.

The Spanish Football Federation plans to hold its annual meeting with all La Liga and Segunda División coaches at the Ciudad del Fútbol on Tuesday, September 22. Following the Madrid derby, Real Madrid has little interest in attending this meeting, despite it being technically organized by the coaching community.

The meeting does not include discussions with refereeing officials, which have been held on other occasions. This is an opportunity for coaches to voice their concerns early in the season, and Mourinho will have the chance to express his opinions as well, though his attendance has not yet been confirmed.
