After failing to win any titles in the 2025/2026 season, Real Madrid's management has begun planning to find a new coach. According to Spanish media reports over the past few weeks, Jose Mourinho has emerged as the leading candidate for the "Hot Seat" at the Santiago Bernabeu.
On May 18th, leading news outlet Fabrizio Romano reported that Jose Mourinho and Real Madrid had reached a verbal agreement, only awaiting the signing of formal documents. The initial plan was for a two-year contract, with the Portuguese strategist arriving in Madrid after the match between Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao.
Coach Mourinho is currently managing Benfica and has led the team to an unbeaten record in the Portuguese Primeira Liga. A few days ago, Mourinho hinted at his future during a press conference at Benfica. The Portuguese strategist confirmed that he had received a contract extension offer from the club's management but declined to make an immediate decision.
In his illustrious coaching career, "The Special One" has managed many famous teams such as Porto, Inter Milan, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Roma, Tottenham, and Benfica. He won the Champions League twice with Porto and Inter, in 2004 and 2010 respectively. Mourinho is the only coach in the history of European football to have won all three major UEFA titles. The Portuguese strategist also spent three years with Real Madrid (2010-2013).
He helped Los Blancos win the Copa del Rey in 2011, after defeating Barcelona in the final, and the Spanish Super Cup in 2012. The "Special One's" greatest achievement in Madrid was winning La Liga in the 2011/2012 season. Real Madrid finished the season with a record 100 points, scoring 121 goals and finishing 9 points ahead of Barcelona.
In his second stint at the Spanish capital club, Mourinho's task is to stabilize the team internally, resolving the conflicts that have arisen between the players recently. Most importantly, Mourinho must help Real Madrid break the dominance of their arch-rivals Barcelona in La Liga, and lead Real Madrid to their 16th Champions League title.
