CONFIRMED: Deal sealed for Mourinho’s return to coach Real

Mourinho unexpectedly emerged as the center of attention in the wave of changes at Real Madrid, with a concise remark altering all plans around the coaching role.

Real Madrid is going through turbulent times as the coaching seat continuously draws intense scrutiny. Following the decision to part ways with Xabi Alonso, the future of the Royal Club has been cast into uncertainty. Every change at Bernabéu immediately sparks a flurry of rumors about potential successors.

Among the names mentioned, Jose Mourinho always holds a special place. Some Real Madrid fans still cherish the strong character and determination the Portuguese coach brought. The regret of never winning the Champions League with him fuels hopes for a reunion.

However, Mourinho himself put an end to all speculation. When asked about the possibility of returning to lead Real Madrid, the current Benfica coach responded candidly: “Don’t count me in any soap operas. Some soap operas are very good, but they are too long; missing one or two episodes makes you lose the storyline. Don’t count on me, because I don’t watch soap operas.”

This statement is seen as the clearest confirmation of Mourinho’s future. Leaving no room for interpretation, the Portuguese coach showed he does not want to get involved in the prolonged rumors that always surround Real Madrid whenever the club faces a crisis.

Nevertheless, the relationship between Mourinho and President Florentino Pérez remains very positive. Portuguese media revealed that Florentino sent his regards to the former coach after the club’s Christmas party. The two might even meet again in the Champions League arena.

For Real Madrid, the immediate plan is to maintain stability until the end of the season. Arbeloa is likely to continue in charge, while the long-term future depends on results and trophies. After Mourinho’s definitive statement, Real Madrid must look to other options.
