Jose Mourinho will not attend a coaches’ meeting amid ongoing tensions regarding refereeing decisions for Real Madrid. The club has expressed concerns following a controversial performance by referee Ortiz Arias during the recent Madrid derby, which included missed red card opportunities for Atletico Madrid and a potential penalty not awarded to Real Madrid. These incidents contributed to Mourinho's criticism of the officiating and the federation. The meeting is intended to address such grievances as well as financial topics, but Mourinho’s absence highlights the severity of the situation.
