Mbappe nods, the great coach is on the path to joining Real Madrid

Kylian Mbappe's public "heart" gesture towards a post supporting Jose Mourinho is shaking Europe, paving the way for the return of "The Special One".

Real Madrid is facing a major coaching transition after a disappointing season. While President Florentino Perez is still considering candidates, top star Kylian Mbappe has made a sensational move on social media, completely altering the landscape of speculation.

Specifically, on Instagram, the official account of the French forward unexpectedly "liked" a post from Score90. This post not only praised Jose Mourinho's legacy at Madrid but also painted a promising scenario for 2026: a devastating forward line shaped by the Portuguese strategist, combining Mbappe, Arda Guler, and current stars.

This action was immediately interpreted by fans as a "nod" from Mbappe. Given his profound influence within Real Madrid's squad, the French striker's implicit support is a powerful boost, indicating he is fully prepared to work under a strong personality like Mourinho to pursue major titles.

Alongside Mbappe's personal gesture, legal steps are also being vigorously pushed. The newspaper AS revealed that super-agent Jorge Mendes proactively contacted President Florentino Perez to propose bringing his client back to the Bernabeu.

Currently, Mourinho is coaching Benfica, but Mendes has provided Real Madrid's leadership with detailed financial terms, including the contract termination fee to release "The Special One" from the Lisbon capital club.

The memory of the 2010-2013 period, when Mourinho helped Real Madrid overthrow Barcelona's dominance, remains vivid. Cristiano Ronaldo's explosive performance under Mourinho is seen as a model for Mbappe to aspire to. Real Madrid now needs a captain with sufficient authority to stabilize the dressing room and build a pragmatic, effective playing style.

The combination of Mbappe's desire and Jorge Mendes's proactive moves is making the prospect of Mourinho returning to Madrid more realistic than ever. Though the final decision rests with "boss" Florentino Perez, clearly "The Special One" is the strongest candidate thanks to securing absolute support from the club's most crucial star.
