Will Jose Mourinho, who led Real Madrid in the past, return to Madrid?
Spanish media Mundo Deportivo reported on the 20th that "Mourinho has emerged as a candidate to replace Real Madrid's coach Carlo Ancelotti next season."
Mourinho is one of the best players in European soccer. He has a history of taking the helm of several big clubs, including Chelsea, Inter Milan and Manchester United. Mourinho is famous as a "winning contractor" who won the trophy at most of his clubs. Mourinho won 27 trophies while building his managerial career.
Mourinho once coached at Real Madrid. After joining Real Madrid in 2010, he joined the team until June 2013. Mourinho formed a rivalry with Pep Guardiola's FC Barcelona, who was the strongest player at the time. Mourinho topped the Copa del Rey in 2010/11, beating Barcelona in 2011/12.
Mourinho, who has already reached the age of 60, is currently continuing his coaching job at Serie A AS Roma in Italy. Mourinho won the UEFA Europa Conference League in the 2021/22 season, giving him the first European trophy in club history. He finished second in the UEFA Europa League last season, but this season he has struggled in 10th place in the league with three wins, two draws and three losses (11 points).
In this situation, Mourinho's return to Real Madrid is being discussed. Carlo Ancelotti, the current head of Real Madrid, is out of contract with the club in June next year. If Real Madrid does not offer to renew his contract, he is likely to break up with the club. Ancelotti is mentioned as the coach of the Brazil national team. 스포츠토토
Coincidentally, when Mourinho left Real Madrid in June 2013, Ancelotti came in as his replacement. Meanwhile, in addition to Mourinho, Bayer Leverkusen's Xavi Alonso and coach Zinedine Zidane, who currently has no team, are also mentioned according to Mundo Deportivo. It is worth noting what decision Real Madrid will make.
