It is time for José Mourinho’s presentation at Real Madrid. The Portuguese coach travels this Tuesday to the Spanish capital, where he will sign a contract with the merengue club and be officially presented alongside Florentino Pérez, re-elected last Sunday, thus securing the coach’s return to the club where he already worked between 2010 and 2013.

The information about Mourinho’s trip was reported by Fabrizio Romano, confirming the progress of the process that culminates in the coach’s return to the Spanish club, which is looking to strengthen its sporting project for the coming seasons.

José Mourinho’s departure from Benfica should bring around 15 million euros into the coffers of the Eagles’ SAD, an amount corresponding to the release clause set out in the contract. This financial boost will allow the club to speed up the transition to the new coach and reorganize the technical structure.

João Tralhão and Pedro Machado will be part of the coaching staff accompanying Mourinho in this new stage in Madrid. Also joining are Nuno Santos, in charge of the goalkeepers, António Dias as fitness coach, and Roberto Merella as analyst.

However, not all members of Benfica’s coaching staff will follow the coach. Ricardo Formosinho and Ricardo Rocha, an assistant who was part of the Eagles’ structure, will not be travelling to Spain, remaining outside the merengues’ new project.
