The second Jose Mourinho era at Real Madrid is slowly approaching. It was stated that Mourinho, who is at the top of President Florentino Perez's list, is the favorite due to his star management and disciplinary success, and a meeting between the two sides will be held in Madrid shortly.
Jose Mourinho, who is regarded as one of the most successful managers in world football, is preparing to take a major step in the final phase of his career. After his Fenerbahçe adventure, he signed with the Portuguese team Benfica but failed to find the expected peace there, and a striking claim has emerged regarding the experienced coach.
SECOND MOURINHO ERA CLOSE AT REAL MADRID
According to a report in AS; while the Spanish giant's search for a head coach continues, it was stated that President Florentino Perez has written his old friend Jose Mourinho at the top of his list. The Portuguese coach, who is on the agenda to return to Madrid after about 13 years, was emphasized to be the number one candidate due to his success in star management and discipline at the club. It was mentioned that a meeting is likely to take place between the two sides in Madrid shortly, leading to hot developments.
THE DISCUSSED MAN AT BENFICA
Mourinho, who started the season at Fenerbahçe and continued at Benfica, has been the target of criticism despite achieving an average of 2.00 points with the Portuguese team, due to being far from the championship race and the style of play he employed. A special termination clause in his contract significantly strengthens the possibility of the experienced coach leaving the team at the end of the season and taking over a team at the elite level again.
