Jose Mourinho is back at Real Madrid. And somewhere on the Solana blockchain, a meme token named after the club’s star midfielder just lost virtually everything.
Jude Bellingham publicly endorsed Mourinho’s appointment as Real Madrid’s new head coach in mid-June 2026, calling him a “top, top manager” and expressing his happiness with the club’s recent transfer activity. Meanwhile, an unauthorized Solana-based token called $JUDE crashed by approximately 98%, offering yet another reminder that attaching a famous footballer’s name to a speculative digital asset does not make it a sound investment.
The Mourinho reunion
Mourinho’s return to the Santiago Bernabeu marks his second stint at the club. He previously managed Real Madrid from 2010 to 2013, a period that included a La Liga title.
Bellingham, who joined Real Madrid in 2023, has become a central figure alongside Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr.
