Jose Mourinho says he's joined Real Madrid with the brief to end their title drought. Madrid have failed to win the Primera Division since 2007 and picked up their last Champions League trophy in 2002, but Mourinho insists the club's trophy drought must end now.
"If we don't win the league or the Champions League (this season), it would be a failure," he told ESPN.
In the league, Mourinho's Madrid will look to bring an end to the domination of Pep Guardiola's Barcelona, who have won the last two titles comfortably.
"Barcelona have a different dynamic right now (to Madrid), a philosophy going back a lot of years, players who have been together for many years and a coach who is approaching his third year," he said.
"(But) at Madrid the most veteran player is (Iker) Casillas, who is 29, and the coach has just arrived."
