Jose Mourinho is set for a sensational return to Real Madrid as the club new head coach, with Fabrizio Romano confirming a verbal agreement has been reached on a two-year contract. The Portuguese boss will travel to Madrid after Benfica complete their season, with a formal announcement expected shortly after.
Mourinho previously managed Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013, winning La Liga and the Copa del Rey. This second stint at the Santiago Bernabeu represents one of the most dramatic managerial comebacks in recent football history, and he is expected to target Man City star Rodri as one of his first big signings.
