Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has become LaLiga’s most successful coach by win percentage among managers who have overseen at least 100 matches, following his side’s 3-0 victory over Valencia.
The win at Mestalla, sealed by goals from Federico Valverde, Arda Güler and Kylian Mbappé, marked Madrid’s eighth consecutive triumph across all competitions.
It was also Mourinho’s 97th league victory in 126 matches during his two spells at the club, giving him a 77 per cent success rate and placing him ahead of former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola.
Guardiola recorded 116 wins in 152 LaLiga games, with a 76.3 per cent rate, while Carlo Ancelotti ranks third at 71.1 per cent.
Xavi Hernández follows with 69.6 per cent, ahead of Zinedine Zidane on 67.8 per cent.
The victory also marked Mourinho’s 14th in 16 matches since returning to Madrid, keeping the club level with Barcelona at the top of the league standings.
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has a higher win percentage of 79.3 per cent but remains outside the ranking, having managed only 87 LaLiga matches.
