Real Madrid likely to hold Jose Mourinho’s official presentation after the World Cup

Real Madrid likely to hold Jose Mourinho’s official presentation after the World Cup According to journalist Alberto Pereiro , Real Madrid executives have agreed to defer the official presentation of newly appointed manager José Mourinho after the ongoing FIFA World Cup. The strategic delay is intimately tied to the conclusion of his highly anticipated Netflix documentary series, titled ‘MOURINHO’ , which is slated for a worldwide release on 11 August 2026. The idea is to allow the Portuguese tactician to dictate the exact timing of his ceremonial unveiling in front of the media. The cinematic culmination The multi-part documentary series, produced by Ventureland, has been filmed over the past two years to chronicle the 63-year-old’s illustrious and polarized 20-year managerial career. As per the report, the ultimate climax of the documentary will feature exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage of his second grand presentation at the Santiago Bernabeu. Still no date for official presentation.

Consequently, Real Madrid have chosen not to set an official date for the presentation despite having announced his appointment weeks ago. Club president Florentino Perez and the senior board of directors fully respect Mourinho’s autonomy regarding this decision. Pre-Season progresses regardless While the theatrical presentation remains up in the air, the scheduling fluidness is not disrupting the team’s operational timeline. Mourinho officially stepped back onto the pitches at the Valdebebas training complex today, 13 July, to oversee the official start of Real Madrid’s pre-season. Despite wanting his World Cup-bound players back as early as possible to address major issues, including locker room discipline , the manager is already working extensively with available squad members ahead of the new season. As of now, Real Madrid have officially announced two pre-season friendly games: the first against Fiorentina in Austria, and the second one against newly-promoted La Liga club Deportivo La Coruna in the Teresa Herrera Trophy. In addition, it is expected that Los Blancos will take part in two more friendly matches as Mourinho aims to take a closer look at the players at his disposal.
