Former Como defender Raphael Varane says Ex boss Jose Mourinho launched Real Madrid’s glory era.
In an interview with L’Equipe, Varane stated that it was Mourinho who brought him with a call when he was at Lens, and that it was Zinedine Zidane who took the club to its golden age.
“José Mourinho started something huge. (Carlo) Ancelotti managed to convert it, and then we had the golden generation at its peak, with Zizou to the front. Mou called me from Lens to sign for Madrid.

“I learned a lot from him, although we did not always agree on everything. He understands the players very well, he has always defended them, he has always assumed difficult moments.”
“I did everything a little faster than the others. I was lucky to come to a club that gives young people time to learn at a very high level and physically mature.
“What they have done for years, with me, Valverde, Vinicius or Rodrygo, it is exceptional. All major clubs should copy Real Madrid.”
