Jose Mourinho Set for Real Madrid Return if Perez Triumphs
If Florentino Perez secures presidency, Jose Mourinho is set to return as Real Madrid's manager. Faced with competition from Enrique Riquelme, Perez plans a comeback for Mourinho, who achieved a record LaLiga points tally in 2012. Real Madrid's recent lackluster performance and early Champions League exits prompted the election call.
Jose Mourinho could make a sensational return as Real Madrid's manager if Florentino Perez wins the upcoming presidential election, the sitting president revealed. Perez is facing challenger Enrique Riquelme, marking Real Madrid's first contested election in two decades, as he seeks reelection at the head of the Spanish football giant.
Perez intends to reappoint the Portuguese coach Mourinho, who famously led Real to a record LaLiga points tally in 2012 but last claimed a league title with Chelsea in 2015. This prospective move comes after a lackluster domestic performance, with Barcelona snatching back-to-back league titles.
Despite holding the record for 15 Champions League wins, Real Madrid has faltered at the quarter-final stage for two consecutive seasons, sparking the absence of major trophies and prompting Perez to announce the elections.
