Courtois denies anger at Real Madrid links to Conte and Mourinho

The Belgian goalkeeper took to Twitter to dispute reports that he was frustrated by the club's coaching rumours

Thibaut Courtois has emphatically denied reports that he was dreading the potential hiring of Antonio Conte or Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid.

Courtois played under both managers during his time in Chelsea, and the two have been linked to the Real Madrid job as potential replacements for under-fire Julen Lopetegui.

A report from El Pais stated that the Belgian goalkeeper told teammates that he "cannot believe" that the two were being considered while turning pale at the suggestion.
