👀 Mourinho will take over at Real Madrid if Florentino Pérez wins election | OneFootball

"Special One" will be Real Madrid’s new coach.

But there is one "detail" for him to actually sign a contract.

Florentino Pérez needs to win the presidential election to be held on the 7th for José Mourinho to return after 13 years.

The current Real president, 79, confirmed the Portuguese coach if he succeeds in the race against Enrique Riquelme, a 37-year-old renewable energy magnate.

It will be the first election at the Spanish capital club since 2000, when Florentino was elected.

He was only out of charge for three years after resigning in 2006.

And he was elected by acclamation in 2009, 2013, 2017, 2021 and 2025. 

The signings of Konaté (available on a free after leaving Liverpool) and Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries are also well advanced.

Now 63, Mourinho managed Real between 2010 and 2013.

Including, for example, epic clashes with Barcelona.

He left the club with three titles: La Liga (2011/12), Copa del Rey (2011) and the Spanish Super Cup (2012). 

And three Champions League campaigns that ended in the semifinals against Barcelona (10/11), Bayern (11/12) and Dortmund (12/13). 

Mourinho was at Benfica, who finished 25/26 without trophies and only secured a place in the Europa League playoffs.
