The Special One Returns! Jose Mourinho Set to Take Charge at Real Madrid After 13 Years!
Jose Mourinho is returning to Real Madrid after 13 years away, with the Spanish giants agreeing a two-year deal to bring back the iconic manager. An official announcement is expected shortly as the club looks to end a trophyless season with a statement appointment.
One of football's most iconic partnerships is back. Jose Mourinho is set to return to Real Madrid as head coach after 13 years away, with the Spanish giants agreeing a two-year deal to bring "The Special One" back to the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Deal
Mourinho has verbally agreed to the terms and an official club announcement is expected shortly. The Portuguese manager previously managed Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013, winning a La Liga title and a Copa del Rey during his tenure.
How It Came to This
Real Madrid endured a difficult 2025-26 season, finishing without a single trophy. Xabi Alonso was sacked in January, with Alvaro Arbeloa stepping in as temporary caretaker. After months of managerial uncertainty, the club turned to experience — bringing back the man who knows the Bernabeu better than almost anyone.
Major Overhaul Incoming
Mourinho's arrival won't be the only change at the club. Real Madrid are planning sweeping changes across the coaching staff and sporting department, signaling a full reset after a disappointing campaign. The board is counting on Mourinho's winning mentality to restore order and bring silverware back to the Spanish capital.
