Mourinho sends Cucurella tattoo hint

Jose Mourinho has jokingly hinted that Real Madrid defender Marc Cucurella should tattoo Mourinho’s face on his body, following Cucurella’s tattoo of Spain manager Luis de la Fuente. The exchange adds a light-hearted personal detail to the pair’s new manager-player relationship.

Cucurella said he does not regret the De la Fuente tattoo, which he got after Spain won the World Cup, having promised to honour the manager if they lifted the trophy. He said Mourinho sent him an image depicting his chest with Mourinho’s face tattooed on it. Cucurella also dyed his hair red after Spain won the 2024 European Championship.
