As Jose Mourinho seems about to depart Benfica, he has finalised a deal with Real Madrid.
Before the 2026–27 season, the 63-year-old will be back at the Bernabeu as their new manager.
Mourinho has agreed to a three-year contract, with an additional year’s option.
The news broke on Monday morning from football transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano.
The return of José Mourinho to Real Madrid is imminent, according to Romano’s post on X.
Waiting to sign any paperwork, José Mourinho and Real Madrid have verbally agreed upon all agreements.
The original two-year deal is set to go forward, and JM will be sent to Madrid following the Real-Bilbao match.
