The outstanding accounts of José Mourinho at Real Madrid
Mourinho returns to the Bernabéu with the mission of regaining competitiveness and settling his European debt.
Mourinho's hopes
José Mourinho returns to the heart of Madridismo with a challenge that has been pursuing him for over a decade:to conquer the Champions League with the white club. His first stint at the Bernabéu, between 2010 and 2013, left a mark for having halted the hegemony of Guardiola's Barcelona and for having broken domestic records, but also for that feeling of an outstanding debt. Three consecutive semifinals in the top European competition were not enough to lift the trophy that obsesses the institution.
Florentino winner of the elections
Now, after the re-election of Florentino Pérez until 2030, the Portuguese returns with the aim of completing his legacy. "I am proud to have Mourinho with us again," declared the president, who also promised more titles and acknowledged that the coach rebuilt the competitive mentality that preceded six Champions in eleven years. The message is clear: the club needs to regain discipline and competitiveness after two irregular seasons.
The experience of Mourinho and his team
Mourinho's previous experience in Europe is a guarantee. He already won the Champions League with Porto and Inter, and his ambition is to close the circle in Madrid. To achieve this, he will rely on a circle of trust that reinforces the idea of continuity and support. Additionally, collaborators such as Joao Tralhao, Pedro Machado, and analyst Roberto Merella would arrive from Benfica, pieces that accompanied the coach in his last stage and are now joining the new Madrid project.
