Mourinho an option for Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez eyes Benfica boss | OneFootball

The possibility of José Mourinho returning to Real Madrid is once again on the table, at a time when the Spanish club is looking for solutions for the managerial position. The name of the Benfica coach has been discussed internally and is gaining momentum at a time of reflection by the board led by Florentino Pérez.

Álvaro Arbeloa’s continuity seems increasingly unlikely, with a meeting between the coach and the club’s hierarchy even scheduled for the coming days. Everything indicates that the Spaniard’s spell is set to come to an end, paving the way for a new manager to take charge of Los Blancos.

In that scenario, Mourinho emerges as a credible option, not only because of his experience, but also because of the connection he still has with the club and with the president himself. In addition, he remains a name viewed positively by the fans, especially after recent less successful spells under other coaches.

The interest, it seems, is mutual. Fabrizio Romano said that “Mourinho would like to be able to return to Real Madrid one day, he is open to it. There are no negotiations,” making it clear that, despite the willingness, there have still been no concrete developments between the parties (Read HERE).

For now, the process is still at an early stage, but Real Madrid want to resolve the matter quickly. Florentino Pérez continues to assess several names, such as Zidane, Klopp or Pochettino, but Mourinho remains a strong possibility.
