Madrid: Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho says Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain will remain at the Spanish club despite transfer speculation, as the Portuguese coach expects the young strikers to help the team build "a new era in European football."
Mourinho broke a self-imposed, monthlong silence in a radio interview with Cadena Ser late Thursday night to defend his actions during the ill-tempered Champions League semifinal against Barcelona, which led to UEFA giving him a five-match ban.
Mourinho has taken the case to CAS because "I've been sanctioned without knowing why."
After winning a power struggle with Jorge Valdano, who was fired as managing director, Mourinho adds that "I won't have any more power ... I'll be the coach and nothing more."
