Jose Mourinho is gearing-up for his season back in the fabled Santiago Bernabeu managerial hotseat.
The revered Portuguese boss was officially announced as the Spanish heavyweight's long-term successor to Xabi Alonso on Sunday evening after the La Liga giants triggered his near £3 million release clause at Benfica.
Real Madrid have endured a turbulent couple of seasons since capturing the coveted UEFA Champions League in 2024, with the club subsequently missing out on major silverware on both the domestic and continental stage.
Now, Mourinho has been tasked with instilling his winning mentality into a clearly talented squad as they attempt to wrestle the La Liga crown back from fierce rivals Barcelona, who have reigned supreme in each of the two past seasons.
Of course, the 63-year-old will also be looking to replicate his prior success in UEFA Champions League and Copa Del Rey too, and we've priced 'The Special One' up at 50/1 to sign-off his maiden campaign back in charge by leading his new charges to success on all three fronts.

(Competitions applicable to this market are La Liga, Copa Del Rey and the UEFA Champions League)
bet365’s Steve Freeth said: "It will be interesting to see how much Jose has got left in the locker, but one thing is for sure, it's not going to be dull in La Liga next season.
"He’ll attempt to bring harmony to a Real Madrid dressing room that has had its well-publicised issues this season - but how it all ends is anybody’s guess.
"Barcelona are favourites to retain their La Liga crown next season, but we’re starting to lay Los Blancos after the Mourinho news and he’ll also be relishing going toe-to-toe with Europe’s best in a competition that he’s won twice before.
"That said, we’re only 11/8 about Real Madrid ending 2026/27 trophyless, mirroring their performance in the last two campaigns."
