In Spain, there is no longer any doubt: Jose Mourinho will be the new coach of Real Madrid. The parties have reached a total agreement, with the "Special" to be presented immediately after the last match in La Liga, Real Madrid-Bilbao.

Perez will pay his release clause from Benfica, which is 3 million euros, while the final formal details to make his return to Madrid official will be finalized in the coming days.

Jose Mourinho will sign a two-year contract, until 2028, with the option of a longer-term extension. The Portuguese was a personal choice of Perez, with the Real boss insisting on bringing Mourinho back to Madrid after two trophyless seasons.
