Former Real Madrid No2 Aitor Karanka says Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho was proven right over his decision to dump Iker Casillas while in charge of Real Madrid. Karanka is now working in England as manager of Middlesbrough.
He told ABC: "Time always gives you the reason. They attacked him (Mourinho) and four months later another coach, Ancelotti, arrived and he decided that Diego López would continue as a starter and Casillas as a substitute.
"He denied Iker a first-team place for the good of the team. He was not in form, he was not in his best moment. And Ancelotti has given us the reason."
