Mourinho Returns as Real Madrid Coach After 13 Years

José Mourinho has been appointed as the head coach of Real Madrid C.F. after a 13-year absence from the club. He signed a three-year contract that will keep him at the helm until June 30, 2029.

Mourinho's return comes after Real Madrid's two-year trophyless period, and he is expected to join the team on July 13, when pre-season training begins. The announcement was made following a meeting of the club's board of directors, where president Florentino Pérez confirmed the appointment.

Mourinho previously managed Real Madrid from 2010 to 2013, leading the team to a record-breaking season in which they won the Spanish La Liga with 100 points and scored 121 goals. His successful tenure included victories in the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey.

Mourinho's return is seen as a strategic move to restore the club's former glory.
