Jose Mourinho has touched down in the Spanish capital to put pen to paper on a contract that will see him return to Real Madrid. The 63-year-old Portuguese tactician engaged in discussions with club president Florentino Perez before the presidential election last weekend and reached a preliminary understanding.
Following Perez’s triumph over challenger Enrique Riquelme, Mourinho’s homecoming to the Bernabeu after 13 years is now on the brink of completion. The former Chelsea and Manchester United boss is poised to sign a three-season agreement and will be formally introduced to the press soon after.
Renowned football transfer guru Fabrizio Romano confirmed via X: “José Mourinho, in Madrid today ahead of his presentation as new Real Madrid head coach on a three-year deal.”
In preparation for Mourinho’s arrival, the club has already secured two defensive recruitments: Ibrahima Konate from Liverpool and Denzel Dumfries from Inter Milan. These moves signal Madrid’s intent to strengthen the squad under Mourinho’s guidance.
