Real Madrid are reportedly evaluating their managerial direction amid growing speculation that José Mourinho could make a sensational return to the Santiago Bernabéu.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on X on Tuesday, Mourinho has communicated through close associates that he would welcome the opportunity to return to the Spanish giants for what he describes as a “second chapter” at the club.
Romano stated that Real Madrid have been informed of Mourinho’s interest and that the club is now considering its next steps regarding the managerial position.
Mourinho previously managed Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013, a period during which he guided the team to a La Liga title and a Copa del Rey triumph while also strengthening their competitiveness in European competitions.
During his tenure, he was widely credited with restoring intensity and belief within the squad as Real Madrid sought to challenge Barcelona dominance in Spanish football at the time.
Reports indicate that Real Madrid are currently reviewing long term coaching plans as part of broader internal discussions about the future direction of the team.
Club president Florentino Pérez is expected to play a central role in the decision making process, with final approval on the next manager likely to come directly from him.
Although no official announcement has been made, sources suggest that conversations are ongoing behind the scenes as the club prepares for a potential transition.
Mourinho name has resurfaced in discussions due to his vast experience across Europe, having managed top clubs including Chelsea, Manchester United, Inter Milan, and Roma.
His openness to a return has added further intrigue to the situation, especially among fans who still remember his previous spell at the club.
Real Madrid are expected to make a final decision on their managerial future soon as speculation continues to build around possible candidates.
