Report: Jose Mourinho agrees to return as Real Madrid coach
A legendary coach is on the move.
Jose Mourinho is set to rejoin Real Madrid on a two-year contract, ESPN reported on Monday.
Mourinho, 63, spent the past season at Benfica. The Portuguese club will receive 7 million Euros (C$11.2 million) as compensation, per ESPN.
Real Madrid parted with former manager Xabi Alonso in January and replaced him with Alvaro Arbeloa for the remainder of the season. The club has gone two straight years without a major trophy.
Mourinho previously led the Spanish club from 2010 to 2013, winning one La Liga title, one Copa del Rey and one Supercopa de España. Over his decorated managerial career, Mourinho has won all three UEFA club competitions and league championships in four different countries while also leading Uniao de Leiria, Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Manchester United, Tottenham, Roma and Fenerbahce.
His new deal has been verbally agreed upon but not yet signed, per ESPN.
