🚨 It’s official: José Mourinho is Real Madrid manager again José Mourinho returns to the Bernabéu as the new head coach of Real Madrid . Benfica has informed the CMVM of the formalization of the agreement after Florentino Pérez ’s victory in the club’s presidential elections was officially confirmed. Real Madrid have secured the services of the Portuguese coach after paying 15 million euros. The recently re-elected Real Madrid president did not want to waste a single second before making his move on the board. After a trophyless year, the board has placed its trust in the experience and strong character of a familiar face to lead the club’s new revolution from the dugout. "The Special One", who already managed the club between 2010 and 2013, returns with a clear mission: to get a star-studded squad full of young talents and world-class players back on track. The Chamartín faithful, once divided by his particular style, are now preparing for a new era of maximum demands. Tactical discipline, a winning mentality, and the ability to manage an elite dressing room are Florentino Pérez ’s main arguments for justifying the appointment of the Portuguese manager. Spanish football is being shaken up once again by the return of one of the most high-profile and iconic figures in its recent history. 📸 Angel Martinez - 2026 Getty Images Arbeloa bids farewell Before the announcement of José Mourinho’s appointment, Real Madrid confirmed the end of its relationship with Álvaro Arbeloa as first-team coach.
