Real Madrid may be preparing one of the most famous coaching returns in recent years. Florentino Pérez announced that if he wins the upcoming presidential elections, José Mourinho will become the new coach of the Royals. The Portuguese would return to the Santiago Bernabéu more than a decade after the end of his first term.
Will José Mourinho return to Real Madrid?
The elections for the president of Real Madrid will take place this weekend. Florentino Pérez and Enrique Riquelme are competing for the most important position in the club. Although fans and members will formally make a decision, there are many indications that the current president will remain in power for another term.
Pérez has already made one of the most important election announcements. He declared that if he won, Mourinho would take over as first team coach. This gives the whole matter an official dimension, because the Portuguese has been linked with a return to Madrid for a long time.
An agreement is expected to be close
The latest reports suggest that Real and Mourinho have already reached a full agreement on the terms of cooperation. The material published online can therefore be treated as an announcement of a movement that may be formally confirmed after the elections.
For the Royals, it would be the return of a coach who knows the pressure of Santiago Bernabéu well. Mourinho led Real in 2010-2013, a period of great rivalry with Barcelona and great tensions around Spanish football.
What did Mourinho win with Real?
During his first job in Madrid, Mourinho won the Spanish championship, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup with Real. His team was intense, uncompromising and built to compete with the best teams in Europe.
The Portuguese did not win the Champions League with Real back then, but he led the team to the semi-finals of the competition three times. His previous term of office left behind a lot of emotions, strong memories and a sense of unfinished history.
A long road after leaving the Bernabéu
After leaving Real, Mourinho worked in several large clubs. He managed Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham, AS Roma, Fenerbahçe and Benfica, with whom he is still formally under contract.
His possible return to Madrid would mean another turn in the career of one of the most recognizable coaches of the 21st century. Real is choosing a name that guarantees immediate media attention, a strong personality and experience in working under enormous pressure.
The decision depends on choices
For now, everything remains tied to the outcome of the presidential election. If Pérez actually wins, the announcement regarding Mourinho could quickly become official. If there had been a sensational change at the top, the situation might have been different.
It’s a weekend in Madrid that may determine not only the future of the presidency, but also the direction of the sports project. Mourinho’s return would be a bold, loud decision that aroused great emotions from the very beginning.
