The English outlet reported on Tuesday afternoon that José Mourinho is the favorite to become Real Madrid’s new head coach next season! The Portuguese manager is Madrid president Florentino Pérez’s number one choice.

As a reminder, Álvaro Arbeloa’s departure at the end of the season is no longer in doubt.

Real’s coach from 2010 to 2013, Mourinho has been in charge of Benfica since September 2025 and has a release clause estimated at three million euros in his contract with the Lisbon club.
