Marc Cucurella Jose Mourinho tattoo, Digi Mart USA News: Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly angling to be the next person honored with a tattoo on left-back Marc Cucurella’s body, following the tattoo Cucurella got of Spain manager Luis de la Fuente after Spain’s World Cup triumph.
Ahead of this summer’s tournament, Cucurella had vowed to get a tattoo of De la Fuente’s face if Spain lifted the World Cup trophy. Spain went on to be crowned world champions for the second time in their history, defeating holders Argentina in the final courtesy of Ferran Torres’s extra-time winner.
Cucurella followed through on his promise, returning home in July with a winners’ medal before attending the national team’s next camp with his new body art. “I don’t regret it, honestly,” he said in an interview on Spanish radio station Cadena Cope.
“I knew you were going to ask me about it and I’d already thought about it, I’d mentioned it at home. And when you asked me, well, that’s what I said.”
De la Fuente may not be the last to have his face inked onto Cucurella, as the Spaniard revealed suggestions that Mourinho should receive a similar tribute. “Some people tell me to get Mourinho’s face tattooed and…
Mourinho told me to,” Cucurella added. “I remember Mourinho sending me a photo with my chest and his face tattooed on it.”
Cucurella also fulfilled a promise to dye his hair red after Spain won Euro 2024. Mourinho brought Cucurella to the Santiago Bernabeu from Chelsea in the summer, and the defender has almost instantly become a starter, playing 16 times across all competitions.
The Portuguese manager’s second stint at the Madrid helm started rocky with a shock defeat to Real Betis in the fourth game of the season, but the club now find themselves fully in the swing of things under Mourinho. He was named the LaLiga manager of the month after a flawless October, which included a victory over Barcelona in El Clasico.
