Real Madrid are currently evaluating their long-term managerial plans, with growing speculation about a possible return of José Mourinho, who is reportedly open to taking charge at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium once again.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Portuguese tactician has privately expressed interest in a comeback, viewing it as a potential “second chapter” with the Spanish giants.
Romano revealed via 𝕏 on Tuesday that Real Madrid have been made aware of Mourinho’s desire to return, adding that the coach has communicated his intentions to close associates while the club continues to deliberate on its next managerial appointment.
Mourinho previously managed Real Madrid from 2010 to 2013, winning the La Liga title and Copa del Rey, while also restoring the club’s competitiveness in Europe during an intense rivalry period with Barcelona.
The situation at the club remains uncertain, with officials carefully reviewing their options as part of broader plans for the future. No final decision has been announced, but internal discussions are said to be ongoing.
Club president Florentino Pérez is expected to play a key role in determining the club’s next move.
Mourinho’s name has re-emerged due to his vast experience at the highest level and his enduring reputation as one of football’s most prominent managers. Since leaving Madrid, he has remained consistently linked with top managerial roles across Europe.
Real Madrid are expected to clarify their position soon as they continue preparations for the upcoming seasons.
