Real Madrid 2026/27 La Liga title odds: Los Blancos 6/5 to reclaim league crown under Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho is set to stage an emotional return to Real Madrid this summer to become the club's new permanent head coach.

The Portuguese's return will come 13 years on from his first spell in the Spanish capital, and will see 'The Special One' back in the Santiago Bernabeu hotseat until at least the summer of 2028.

It's expected Los Blancos will officially announce Mourinho's return following their final league fixture of the campaign against Athletic Club on Sunday, before being unveiled by the European giants next week.

The revered 63-year-old spent three years in Madrid between 2010 and 2013, leading them to La Liga, Copa del Rey and Supercopa de España glory before sealing a return to Chelsea just a few days later.

He has more recently overseen the fortunes of Benfica, for whom he led to an unbeaten league season, although they still only finished in third place, eight points adrift of the champions - and another of his former clubs - FC Porto.

Mourinho will be tasked with addressing a turbulent couple of years for Madrid, with the Spanish giants having now gone two years without adding to their significant honours list.

Since capturing the coveted UEFA Champions League in 2024, for the sixth time in 10 years, Madrid have endured surprising trophy drought, with back-to-back league triumphs for fierce rivals Barcelona rubbing further salt into the Real wounds.

However, President Florentino Perez will be confident that the reappointment of Mourinho - whose win record in Madrid hasn't been bettered by anybody since he departed over a decade ago - will coincide with a far more successful period for the club.
