His first tenure at the Bernabéu from 2010 to 2013 was marked by both significant success, including a Spanish league title and a Copa del Rey, and a polarising, confrontational managerial style. Mourinho now faces the challenge of inheriting an underperforming Real Madrid squad that has endured a two-year drought without a major title, despite the presence of superstar Kylian Mbappé. The club has experienced considerable instability this season, having cycled through two coaches, Xabi Alonso and Álvaro Arbeloa, highlighting the disarray Mourinho is tasked with addressing. His return was anticipated following the re-election of president Florentino Perez, who expressed pride in welcoming back Mourinho, whom he described as “one of the best coaches in the world” and a “Madridista”.
