Real Madrid reappoint Jose Mourinho on three-year deal

Real Madrid reappointed Jose Mourinho as head coach on June 5, 2024, signing a three-year contract that will keep him at the club until 2027. This marks Mourinho's second tenure with the Spanish giants, having previously managed the team from 2010 to 2013. During his first stint, he led Real Madrid to a La Liga title in the 2011-2012 season, securing 32 league wins that year, a club record at the time. He also won the Copa del Rey in 2011 and the Supercopa de España in 2012. Mourinho's return is seen as an attempt by Real Madrid to recapture the winning mentality and defensive solidity that characterized his previous successful period. The club's management expressed confidence in his ability to bring silverware back to the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. His immediate task will be to integrate new signings and prepare the squad for the upcoming La Liga and Champions League campaigns.
