Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Jose Mourinho's return to Real Madrid has been completed. The Italian journalist said that the two sides are currently just waiting to complete the final paperwork before official announcement.
According to the plan, Mourinho will sign a two-year contract with the Royal Spanish team. He is expected to arrive in Madrid immediately after the match between Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao on May 24 to complete his return to the Bernabeu stadium.
Information about Mourinho returning to Real Madrid has actually appeared in recent weeks. President Florentino Perez considers the Portuguese strategist as a priority choice for the club's new rebuilding plan.
Mourinho used to coach Real Madrid in the period 2010-2013 and left a strong mark. Under his leadership, the Royal team won the La Liga championship in the 2011-2012 season with 100 points and a historic scoring record, while ending Barcelona's dominance period under Pep Guardiola.
Although he left Bernabeu more than 10 years ago, Mourinho has always received great respect from the leadership and Real Madrid fans thanks to his strong personality and ability to build a team full of bravery.
According to Spanish media, Mourinho also made clear requests before agreeing to return. The 63-year-old strategist does not accept any interference from players in professional decisions, especially related to team selection.
In addition, Mourinho wants to focus entirely on coaching and press conferences, instead of becoming a media representative of the club like many recent coaches.
