José Mourinho is reportedly set for a sensational return to Real Madrid after agreeing to a three-year contract that would see him take charge of the Spanish giants for a second spell.
According to multiple reports, the Portuguese manager has signed a deal running until 2029, although an official announcement is expected only after Real Madrid's upcoming presidential elections. Current president Florentino Pérez is widely expected to remain in office, a key factor behind Mourinho's proposed return.
The move would mark Mourinho's first return to the Santiago Bernabéu since leaving the club in 2013. During his previous stint, he won La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup while helping restore Real Madrid as a major force in European football.
Reports suggest Real Madrid's leadership views Mourinho as the ideal figure to rebuild authority and competitiveness following a disappointing campaign. The veteran coach is also believed to have already begun discussions regarding transfer targets and squad restructuring ahead of next season.
Mourinho, known worldwide as “The Special One,” has managed several of Europe's biggest clubs, including Chelsea, Inter Milan, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Roma, and Benfica. His potential return has already sparked major debate among supporters, with many eager to see whether he can replicate the success and intensity that defined his first spell in Madrid.
An official confirmation from Real Madrid is expected in the coming weeks if the reported agreement proceeds as planned.
