After weeks shrouded in mystery, José Mourinho has been officially confirmed as the new coach of Real Madrid and will begin his second term at the helm of the white team thirteen years after his departure. The Portuguese signed a contract for three seasons and will remain in the position until June 30, 2029.
The Madrid institution announced the hiring through a statement released this Thursday, detailing that the decision was approved by the Board of Directors led by Florentino Pérez.
"The Board of Directors of Real Madrid C. F., meeting today Thursday, June 11, and presided over by Florentino Pérez, has agreed to appoint José Mourinho as the first team coach for the next three seasons, until June 30, 2029", the club reported. Additionally, it specified that the coach will join on July 13, the scheduled date for the start of preseason.
The arrival of the Portuguese represents one of the most significant moves in European football in this market and one of the first major sports decisions by Florentino Pérez after being re-elected as president of the institution.
