Mourinho’s two staff members have played a key role in Real Madrid leaving behind injury woes Real Madrid’s transitional season under Jose Mourinho has had its high points and low points. But after a poor start to the season, Mourinho has done a superb job of reviving Real Madrid’s mojo, with the club currently on an eight-game winning run across all competitions. Mourinho has played a key role in this turnaround and has been rightly praised for his management. But there are others in the support staff who have been equally important.

For the first time in a decade, Real Madrid reached mid-October without a single player missing a match due to an injury sustained during the current campaign. Those who are receiving treatments right now, such as Raul Asencio and Rodrygo, have been carrying over problems from last season. Both Dias and Carrico are trusted men of Mourinho, who was keen to improve this area of Real Madrid right from the get go. While Dias oversees physical preparation, Carrico is a specialist when it comes to physiology and sports science. Working alongside Antonio Pintus and the medical staff, they form a key part of a Mourinho-led turnaround at Real Madrid.

Despite Pintus’ continued presence at the club, Dias has taken a prominent role, with an approach combining strength work in the gym and its immediate application on the pitch. One of Dias’ goal has been to convert physical load and strength training models in the gym into specific movements and efforts players require during matches. The report states that Dias’ methods are highly effective and are praised highly inside Valdebebas. The players also value the calm and confidence he instills to the team – thus making him just as much important to Real Madrid’s turnaround.
