Urgent. Perez announces Mourinho as Real Madrid coach

Florentino Perez, the president of Real Madrid and a candidate for the same position in the next Sunday’s club elections, has announced that Jose Mourinho will be the team’s new coach if he succeeds in the elections.

Perez’s official campaign page on the X platform released a video on Wednesday evening in which Mourinho appears in a Real Madrid shirt and says yes, making it clear that the Portuguese will be the team’s coach if Perez is successful in the election, where he is competing against fellow candidate Enrique Riquelme.

The account was captioned “Mourinho, a story worth telling.”

This is the first time that Perez announced his agreement to train the royal team with 63-year-old Mourinho.

Whenever he was asked about the coach who will replace Alvaro Arbeloa in the new season, he replied: He dodges and shows that he is undecided.

Perez’s evasions come as multiple media reports have confirmed that a deal between Perez and Mourinho was signed weeks ago, even before the end of last season.

Perez managed to activate the release clause in Mourinho’s contract with Benfica, ending the Portuguese coach’s journey after signing just one season with his side.

On the other hand, the one nicknamed “Exclusive” is set to return to Real Madrid for a second term after his first spell between 2010 and 2013. Between the two terms, the coach managed a number of clubs, notably Chelsea, Manchester United and Roma.

This comes as candidate Enrique Riquelme has announced that he will not return Mourinho to the coaching chair if he is successful in the election, as he has clearly confirmed that he is not the right man for this stage.

However, media reports have confirmed that Mourinho has already started planning for the new season as he has presented Perez with his requests for new deals and…The case of the deceased.
