According to renowned football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Jose Mourinho, who currently manages Benfica, has expressed a strong desire to take over as the next head coach of Real Madrid. Romano revealed this information in a recent social media post, stating that Mourinho is absolutely keen and open to returning to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Romano emphasized that returning to Real Madrid is a long-term aspiration for Mourinho, and the opportunity to make this move a reality in the upcoming summer transfer window is particularly appealing to the Portuguese tactician, often referred to as ‘The Special One’. Mourinho previously managed Real Madrid from 2010 to 2013, guiding them to a La Liga title and other successes.
The La Liga giants are actively searching for a new manager to replace Alvaro Arbeloa at the end of the current season. Mourinho, who has also managed top clubs like Chelsea, Inter Milan, and Manchester United, has been consistently linked with a return to the Spanish capital. Romano’s comments confirm that the feeling is mutual, with Mourinho viewing a return to Real Madrid as a highly attractive prospect.
