El Real Madrid manager José Mourinho finds his tenure subject to an ongoing, cumulative plebiscite as club politics mirror a broader national pre-campaign cycle in Spain, elmundo.es reported. Club president Florentino Pérez has often opted for a formula of alternating command by changing a silk manager for a sandpaper one, and vice versa, as a stabilizing form of balance between coaches and dressing rooms.
The Cumulative Plebiscite and the Bench
Mourinho is subjected in each match, especially in the immediate Clásico, to a continuous and cumulative plebiscite until the end of the season. Successive elections in matches of all kinds and results will dictate his near future at the club, as Madrid does not give time to time, particularly after dry seasons. In line with his superior and translated into current political language, Mourinho sees lawfare in every adverse decision by referees, whom he views as the judges of football, and considers corporations or individuals publishing or questioning things he dislikes as “pseudomedios” or “pseudoperiodistas”.

Polarization and Historical Parallels
During his first spell, Mourinho replaced the Madrid-Barça rivalry with polarization between the two clubs and their squads during the era of Guardiola, Vilanova, and Messi. Now, a twist of fate pits him against another potential golden era for a Barcelona featuring Flick and Lamine. Just as Sánchez erected an ideological wall in Congress eight years ago to separate “progressives” from “fascists”, Mourinho opened a confrontational trench in Valdebebas 16 years ago to divide white members and followers into “madridistas” or “antimadridistas”.
Upcoming Electoral and Match Calendar
In La Liga, debatable decisions and uneven, fluctuating play continue. With many rallies and matches remaining between now and November 29, when Madrid faces Alavés, Spain faces a general election and Madrid faces a partial one, with a high turnout expected from the sovereign people.
