Casillas: Mourinho was one of the first to call me after my heart attack

Legendary goalkeeper Iker Casillas has revealed that Jose Mourinho was one of the first people to call him after he suffered a heart attack in 2019.

Casillas, who retired from playing officially in the summer, was training with Porto in 2019 when he suffered the scare and spent five days in hospital in the aftermath.

He had worked previously with Mourinho at Real Madrid, where he had played the entirety of his career, but the pair struggled to see eye to eye and the Portuguese controversially offloaded the 167-time capped Spain international in 2015.
