Jose Mourinho is poised for a sensational return to Real Madrid, with his appointment expected to be confirmed following Florentino Perez’s re-election as president at the Bernabeu Stadium.
Perez, who secured an eighth term after fending off challenger Enrique Riquelme, had made no secret of his desire to name Mourinho as head coach should he win the election. Reports indicate that the current Benfica boss has agreed a three-year deal to return to the club he previously managed between 2010 and 2013, replacing Alvaro Arbeloa, who was appointed in January after Xabi Alonso’s departure.
