Real Madrid is preparing for a bombshell in world football: the return of José Mourinho to the Santiago Bernabéu is imminent and could be officially announced right after the conclusion of the La Liga season. According to exclusive information, the Portuguese coach is about to take the helm of the Spanish giant once again, a decision that promises to shake up the landscape of European football.
According to sources close to the club and reported by The Telegraph, the final details of Mourinho’s hiring will be finalized after the last match of the Spanish League, scheduled for May 23. The expectation is that the official announcement will happen immediately, marking the beginning of a new era under the guidance of the “Special One.”
It is important to highlight that Mourinho still has an outstanding commitment: the last match of the season with Benfica, his current club, is scheduled for May 16 against Estoril Praia. The contractual situation remains tense, but there is a crucial clause that could facilitate the transition. The Portuguese coach can leave Benfica upon the payment of a fixed buyout clause of 3 million euros. This clause will be active until May 26, within a period of 10 days after the aforementioned match.
The negotiation process is being conducted directly between Mourinho and Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid. Despite the controversies and turbulence that marked his previous tenure at the club, the relationship between the two remains strong. Real believes that Mourinho, now 63 years old and with even greater experience gained at various European clubs, is the right figure to lead the next chapter of the Merengue project.
Although Mourinho’s contract with Benfica runs until 2027, sources assure that there will be no major obstacles to his departure. The Portuguese club seems willing to facilitate the transfer, acknowledging the coach’s interest in returning to Madrid.
This return of Mourinho promises to revolutionize the structure of Real Madrid, bringing a mix of experience, controversy, and ambition that could propel the team to new challenges and glories. The countdown has begun, and the football world eagerly awaits the official confirmation of the “Special One’s” return to the Bernabéu. Get ready for a storm in Spanish football!
