According to Goal.com, after two seasons of underperformance and decline, Real Madrid has welcomed back Mourinho for his second spell this season. The Portuguese manager is rebuilding the team from the ground up. Currently, Mourinho has implemented a new strict management system within the team, completely ending previous "privileges" and prioritizing discipline, diligence, and order in team building, fundamentally reshaping the culture of Real Madrid's dressing room.

According to renowned journalist José Félix Díaz, Mourinho has abandoned his previous soft management approach and introduced several strict new rules. Even minor mistakes will face severe punishment, and all players are treated equally, with no one enjoying special privileges.
1. Minor fines eliminated; immediate suspension and individual extra training for lateness
Previously, Real Madrid players arriving late to training would only face small fines of 200 to 300 euros. According to Mourinho, for high-earning players, such punishments have no deterrent effect and are completely ineffective. Therefore, he has abolished the monetary fine system and replaced it with severe athletic punishment: any player who arrives late to training will be immediately excluded from group training, required to perform additional individual gym work, and will directly miss the next official match, a significant escalation in penalties.
2. Rehabilitation training only at the training ground; no external treatment permitted
Mourinho strictly regulates the player injury recovery process. All players requiring rehabilitation, physical therapy, and recovery work in the afternoon must remain at the Valdebebas training center throughout the entire process. This prevents players from seeking private rehabilitation treatment, ensuring the team can uniformly manage player fitness conditions and monitor each player's recovery progress.
3. Standardized diet; player choice eliminated
The team has adjusted the collaboration model between players and nutritionists, completely removing players' privilege to eat freely. Now, the entire squad must strictly adhere to a standardized diet plan set by the club. Diet management has been formally incorporated into the core of the team's training system, preventing players from eating improperly or having irregular eating habits, thereby ensuring the team's competitive condition from a physical perspective.
4. Reduce emphasis on individual superstar status; focus on team football
Mourinho is committed to adjusting team atmosphere, diminishing individual player privileges and one-man playing styles. He has redistributed player roles within the team, balancing the tactical weight of each player, working to overcome cooperation barriers between superstars, and building a more cohesive and synergistic team system, so the team no longer relies on individual ability to win.
5. Discipline and tactics interconnected; comprehensive refinement of the team system
In "The Special One's" philosophy, strict discipline is not an independent set of rules, but the foundation of the team's tactical system. Only when all members comply with discipline, maintain high-intensity training attitude, and uniformly apply standards can the team enhance on-field cohesion, tactical execution, and offensive-defensive balance, forming a complete and well-functioning system from training to matches.
Positive changes in team atmosphere; long-term trial ongoing
After implementing the new rules, the entire Real Madrid team has shown no resistance; instead, they generally acknowledge Mourinho's strict requirements. Player engagement and focus during training and matches have increased significantly, and the dressing room atmosphere has been refreshed.
For Mourinho, the current stage is merely the beginning of reform. His greatest challenge is maintaining this strict disciplinary system over the long term and consolidating it into lasting team dressing room culture. The entire Real Madrid squad hopes that through this comprehensive transformation, they can emerge from the decline of the last two seasons, regain their competitive edge as a giant club, and compete for titles across all competitions.
