Journalist Sacha Tavolieri claims that Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho have struck an agreement for Mourinho to take over as manager. During his tenure as Madrid’s manager from 2010 to 2013, Mourinho led the team to a La Liga championship with a record number of points, a Copa del Rey, and a Spanish Super Cup.
His contract with Benfica is still in effect until 2027, although he has the option to depart if another team offers him compensation of about €3 million. After Xabi Alonso was fired in January, Alvaro Arbeloa was promoted to the first team, and President Florentino Perez believes Mourinho is the ideal manager to take his position.
The Spanish powerhouses also took into consideration Didier Deschamps, Mauricio Pochettino, Jurgen Klopp, and Massimiliano Allegri. Madrid may need Mourinho’s winning mindset and expertise running elite locker rooms to bounce back from this season’s setbacks, which culminated in Sunday’s El Clasico loss.
The dressing room has been divided in recent weeks; Mourinho will be entrusted with bringing them together. Along with bringing out the best in Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, and Kylian Mbappe, he must also establish balance among the team.
Jose Mourinho will become Real Madrid’s manager for a second spell
According to reports, Mourinho will sign a two-year deal with Real Madrid. An formal announcement is expected in the next few days, possibly after the Spanish powerhouse’s season ends next weekend.
The 63-year-old said that he has received a new contract offer from Benfica and denied communication with Real Madrid, claiming that next week will be crucial for his future. According to reports, a provision in his contract permits Real Madrid to pay a compensation charge of almost £2.6 million, which would take effect ten days after Benfica’s season-ending match.
At his news conference on Saturday morning, under-fire Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa was questioned about the rumours that Mourinho will take over.
“The club will make an announcement when they think it’s appropriate,” he stated. The 63-year-old Mourinho feels he has unresolved issues at Madrid, where he lost three straight Champions League semifinals, according to Daily Mail Sport.
