Real Madrid retains Antonio Pintus as physical trainer under Mourinho

Real Madrid has confirmed that Antonio Pintus will continue as the club's physical trainer under new head coach José Mourinho. Despite Mourinho wanting to appoint his own trainer, the club's board has decided to retain Pintus, who returned to the club after Xabi Alonso was dismissed last winter. Mourinho has made some changes to his coaching staff, including appointing his own goalkeeper trainer. Reports indicate that this decision reflects the board's approach to the management structure and emphasizes Pintus's established role in conditioning. The collaboration between Mourinho and Pintus will be closely observed as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
