Reports indicate that José Mourinho has held talks with Florentino Pérez over a potential return to Real Madrid.
The discussions were aimed at exploring the possibility of Mourinho taking charge of the club again, having previously managed the Spanish giants between 2010 and 2013.
The meeting reportedly took place via a video call and focused on working out details surrounding a possible comeback.
Mourinho’s long-time agent, Jorge Mendes, was also present during the conversation, although his role was said to be largely observational.
The development comes amid a difficult period for Real Madrid, who are on course to finish a second consecutive season without winning a major trophy.
Current manager Álvaro Arbeloa is expected to leave the club at the end of the campaign, prompting the search for a new head coach.
Mourinho, currently in charge of Benfica, is widely reported to be Pérez’s preferred candidate to lead a rebuild at the Santiago Bernabéu.
His experience, strong personality, and past success at the club are seen as qualities that could help restore competitiveness.
If the move materializes, it would mark a sensational return for Mourinho to Madrid, where he previously won major honours and established a strong legacy.
However, while talks have taken place, no official agreement has yet been confirmed, leaving the situation still developing.
