If confirmed, the move would mark Mourinho’s second spell in charge of Real Madrid, more than a decade after his first tenure between 2010 and 2013, during which he won La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup.
While the club has yet to make an official statement, anticipation is already building among supporters over a potential reunion with one of the most high-profile managers in football history.
Real Madrid are expected to confirm developments in the coming days once contractual formalities are concluded.
