According to Marca , Real Madrid began preparing for a change of coach after being eliminated from the 2025/26 Champions League by Bayern Munich. All plans are reportedly activated if Real Madrid's chances of competing in La Liga are over, which could happen as early as the match against Barcelona on May 11th.
In the narrowed list of candidates, Mourinho emerged as the name receiving the most support from the club's top brass. "Big boss" Florentino Perez has maintained a close relationship with the Portuguese strategist since his time at Bernabeu from 2010 to 2013. The Real Madrid president is said to have always highly valued Mourinho and considered him the person who laid the foundation for the team's later period of European dominance.
The tense atmosphere in the Real Madrid dressing room recently has made Mourinho's return a more noteworthy possibility. Two clashes between Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde resulted in the Uruguayan midfielder being hospitalized.
It was precisely these internal instabilities that led Real Madrid to consider a coach with a strong personality and the ability to control the dressing room, like Mourinho. The "Special One's" experience in handling pressure, managing star players, and instilling discipline was seen as a perfect fit for the team's current circumstances.
Besides Mourinho, Real Madrid also considered Mauricio Pochettino, Didier Deschamps, or Lionel Scaloni. However, none of them generated as much appeal among fans as the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager.
Although no final decision has been made, Marca claims that Florentino Perez has begun to "give the green light" for Mourinho's return to Bernabeu after more than a decade.
