Jose Mourinho now owns a LaLiga record. According to Daily Post Nigeria, Real Madrid's 3-0 victory at Valencia over the weekend gave him the best win percentage in the league's history among coaches who have managed at least 100 matches.
The numbers behind the milestone
Across his two spells at the Santiago Bernabéu, Mourinho has won 97 of 126 league games, which works out at 77 per cent. That puts him narrowly ahead of Pep Guardiola, who took 116 wins from 152 league matches at Barcelona, a rate of 76.3 per cent.
The rest of the ranking, as reported: Carlo Ancelotti is third on 71.1 per cent, then Xavi Hernández on 69.6 and Zinedine Zidane on 67.8.
Hansi Flick's higher rate does not count yet
Barcelona's current coach, Hansi Flick, actually has a higher raw rate of 79.3 per cent. However, he is not yet eligible for the ranking because he has handled only 87 LaLiga games, short of the 100-match threshold.
How Madrid won at Mestalla
Goals from Federico Valverde, Arda Güler and Kylian Mbappé sealed the win at Valencia's Mestalla stadium. It was Madrid's eighth straight victory in all competitions and Mourinho's 14th win in 16 games since he returned to the club.
Madrid remain second in the table, level with leaders Barcelona according to the report.
