Jose Mourinho is reportedly on the verge of making a dramatic return to Real Madrid after reaching a verbal agreement with the Spanish giants over a new managerial deal.
The experienced Portuguese coach is expected to sign an initial two year contract, with final paperwork now said to be the only step remaining before the appointment becomes official.
Reports indicate Mourinho could travel to Madrid shortly after Real Madrid’s clash against Athletic Bilbao as preparations begin for his comeback.
The News Chronicle reports that Mourinho’s return is already generating massive excitement among football fans across Europe, especially considering his successful first spell at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Mourinho built one of Madrid’s most competitive teams in recent history while winning the La Liga championship, Copa del Rey, and Supercopa de España during his prior stint at the club.
Known globally as “The Special One,” Mourinho remains one of football’s most decorated managers, having also lifted major trophies with clubs including Chelsea, Inter Milan, Manchester United and Porto.
If confirmed, the move could mark one of the biggest managerial stories in European football ahead of the new season.
