Jose Mourinho could be closing in on a return to Real Madrid after more than a decade, as Florentino Perez provides a response.
Jose Mourinho is one of the emerging talking points when it comes to Real Madrid. As per Sacha Tavolieri, the Portuguese boss is closing in on a return to the Santiago Bernabeu, as talks advance, while Florentino Perez provides a response when asked about the 63-year-old manager.
Real Madrid are expected to make a big managerial change in the summer, with Jose Mourinho seeming like the favourite to take over. The Portuguese is coy on the situation as things stand, but Sacha Tavolieri insists a deal is inching closer to completion, and the 63-year-old has reached an agreement with the club.
He also states Mourinho is expected to release a statement on his future as soon as next week, as talks with Real Madrid have been ongoing in the background. A return to the Bernabeu will be a huge decision from the club, as only time will tell whether this is a good move or not.
What’s Happening at Real Madrid?
Real Madrid have been consistently in the news amid turmoil in the background. The main news has been around the altercation between Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni, which has caused a lot of furore.
However, Perez also hopes to resolve the managerial situation, as Alvaro Arbeloa is not expected to continue beyond the season. The ultimate hope is to bring back the stability and winning culture at the club, with Mourinho seen as the right man to get the job done.
What Did Florentino Perez Say About the Jose Mourinho Links?
When asked about the ex-Chelsea and Manchester United manager during the press conference on Tuesday, Perez said, “Mourinho? It’s not the time for that, it’s the time to defend our institution. That is the priority. We are concerned too, but we must defend the best club in history.” Those comments appeared on the X account of Managing Madrid, a well-known Real Madrid-based page.
Despite Perez being the one pushing to get the 63-year-old, the Real Madrid supremo is not expected to open up about talks on the managerial candidates, specifically Mourinho. However, widespread reports have consistently pointed towards the appointment of the current Benfica manager, who is now expected to announce his decision next week.
