Florentino Pérez shook the football world after announcing José Mourinho’s return to Real Madrid if club members re-elect him as president next Sunday. The current Real Madrid president made the announcement through a video published on social media, where Mourinho directly encouraged supporters to back Pérez ahead of the elections against Enrique Riquelme.
The statement immediately created massive excitement among Madrid fans after a disappointing and chaotic season at the Santiago Bernabéu. Florentino Pérez wants José Mourinho to restore discipline, authority, and ambition inside the Real Madrid dressing room after months of tension within the squad.
Supporters already view the Portuguese coach as the ideal leader to rebuild the team and bring stability back to the club. Mourinho previously coached Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013 and left a strong mark through his personality, winning mentality, and fierce rivalry with Barcelona.
José Mourinho now stands closer than ever to a sensational return to Madrid. Florentino Pérez reportedly prepared a contract running until 2029, while Jorge Mendes continues discussions to finalize the remaining details. Real Madrid will also need to pay Benfica around €15 million to complete the operation. If Pérez secures victory in the elections, Mourinho will officially begin a new chapter with Los Blancos.
