Jose Mourinho has taken another step toward his return to Real Madrid. According to insider Fabrizio Romano, the Portuguese coach has already landed in Madrid, where his official presentation is expected to take place shortly.
The club's leadership has reportedly finalized all necessary formalities to secure his appointment. It is expected that Mourinho will lead the team for the next three seasons, despite previous speculation regarding a contract running until the summer of 2029.
To secure his release, Real Madrid reportedly triggered a 15 million euro compensation clause in his agreement with Benfica.
This will be Mourinho's second stint in charge of the club. During his previous tenure, he won the La Liga title, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup, and helped restore the team as a top contender in the Champions League.
