Marc Cucurella says Jose Mourinho wants to be honoured with tattoo like Luis de la Fuente

Cucurella revealed Mourinho has joked about getting a tattoo tribute like the former Spain manager De la Fuente received after the World Cup win.

Marc Cucurella has disclosed that Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho is keen to receive an honorary tattoo on the left-back's body, following Luis de la Fuente's example. Cucurella had promised to get a tattoo of Spain's World Cup-winning manager De la Fuente if they lifted the trophy, and he followed through after Spain defeated Argentina in the final.

Now Mourinho, who brought Cucurella to Madrid from Chelsea in the summer, has suggested he should receive similar treatment. "Some people tell me to get Mourinho's face tattooed and... Mourinho told me to," Cucurella said on Spanish radio. "I remember Mourinho sending me a photo with my chest and his face tattooed on it."

Cucurella has also dyed his hair red after Spain's Euro 2024 triumph and has become a regular starter under Mourinho, appearing 16 times across all competitions.
