Mourinho Signs Three-Year Deal as Real Madrid Head Coach

José Mourinho has signed a three-year contract to become the new head coach of Real Madrid, which will be valid until the end of the 2025-26 season. The official unveiling of Mourinho will take place after the club's presidential elections scheduled for June 7.

The current president, Florentino Pérez, remains in his role, and Mourinho's appointment follows the departure of Álvaro Arbeloa, who took charge in January after Xabi Alonso's exit. Mourinho, aged 63, previously managed Real Madrid from 2010 to 2013, winning La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup.

He replaces Arbeloa after a trophyless season, where Real Madrid finished third in La Liga and exited the Champions League in the quarter-finals against Bayern Munich. Mourinho's coaching career includes successful stints at Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham, and AS Roma, where he won the UEFA Europa Conference League in 2022.

His return to Real Madrid marks a significant moment in his career.
