Mourinho's New Chapter with Real Madrid

Real Madrid has officially announced the hiring of renowned manager Jose Mourinho, who will lead the team until 2029. This decision follows a disappointing trophyless season in 2025-26. Mourinho, who previously managed the club from 2010 to 2013 and secured a La Liga title, is set to rejoin on July 13, just before the club's pre-season activities commence.

In a statement released by Real Madrid, it was noted, "The Board of Directors of Real Madrid CF convened today, June 11, under the leadership of Florentino Perez, and has decided to appoint Jose Mourinho as the head coach for the next three years, concluding on June 30, 2029." They further confirmed, "Jose Mourinho will arrive at Real Madrid on July 13, coinciding with the start of the preseason."

A Look at Mourinho's Coaching Journey

Florentino Perez's Commitment to the Club
