Real Madrid has officially confirmed José Mourinho's return to the first team's bench. The 63-year-old Portuguese coach signed a three-year contract until June 2029 and is set to begin pre-season preparation with the new squad on July 13. idnes.cz ↗
Mourinho's return follows the re-election of Florentino Pérez as club president until 2030. Pérez defeated businessman Enrique Riquelme in the election, fulfilling one of his main campaign promises. The contest was the first major vote on the club's leadership in roughly two decades. Riquelme presented himself as a young challenger with a different vision of management and, at 37 years of age, was the youngest candidate for the post of Real Madrid president in history. idnes.cz ↗
Mourinho already led Real Madrid from 2010 to 2013. His arrival was first announced by Benfica, and was later confirmed by the Spanish club as well. The coach's transfer is set to cost 15 million euros. Benfica, meanwhile, is working on finding his successor, with Marco Silva expected to take over the bench at the Lisbon club. Real Madrid had previously ended the tenure of Álvaro Arbeloa, who had been the first team's interim coach. Der Standard ↗
After the election, Pérez also attempted a major transfer move. Real Madrid submitted an offer of 150 million euros to Atlético Madrid for Julián Álvarez, but the crosstown rival rejected it. The new leadership is thus entering a period in which it must combine its political victory with a rapid sporting rebuild of the squad. HVG ↗
