Real Madrid have brought back José Mourinho for a second stint some 13 years after he left the Spanish powerhouse club.
The Portuguese coach joins on a three-year contract and will officially take charge on July 13, when the preseason starts, the club said on Thursday.
Mourinho left no one in Spain indifferent to his abrasive, yet undeniably successful, managerial style when he first coached Real from 2010-13.
