Mourinho Lined up for Real Return if Perez Wins Election

Perez used his X account to frame Mourinho’s return as part of a re-election push, with a first major signing promised for Thursday.

  • Real Madrid president Florentino Perez announced Jose Mourinho as the new manager on Wednesday evening, contingent on winning the club's upcoming election against rival Enrique Riquelme.
  • Perez's campaign announcement featured a video captioned "MOUcha historia para hacer," a play on the Portuguese manager's nickname and the Spanish word for a lot.
  • Mourinho previously managed Real Madrid in the early 2010s, winning a Liga title with a 100-point season while competing against Pep Guardiola and Lionel Messi.
  • If appointed, Mourinho would face Barca manager Hansi Flick, who oversees Lamine Yamal and a high-scoring outfit at Spotify Camp Nou.
  • Rival candidate Enrique Riquelme battles Perez in the election on June 7, promising to deliver Manchester City player Rodri if he wins the vote.
