Real Madrid finalizes Mourinho's return date to the Bernabeu

Jose Mourinho is nearing his return to the Bernabeu, with Spanish outlets pinpointing the moment he will begin his duties at Real Madrid. Supporters look forward to a fresh chapter alongside "The Special One."

The future of Real Madrid's coaching bench is becoming clearer, as the latest reports from Spain indicate that Jose Mourinho is highly likely to officially start his work at the Bernabeu from July 13 onward.

According to a revelation from Diario AS, cited by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Portuguese tactician is expected to take over Real Madrid during the preseason preparations. If all procedures go as planned, Mourinho will return to the Spanish royal club after more than a decade away.

This information emerges as Real Madrid has yet to officially announce a new head coach following their parting with Arbeloa. However, Mourinho has emerged as the leading candidate to guide Los Blancos through a crucial transitional period after a season that fell short of expectations.

This will be Mourinho's second time taking the hot seat at the Bernabeu. During his first tenure from 2010 to 2013, he helped Real Madrid win one La Liga title, one Copa del Rey, and one Spanish Super Cup. Notably, the 2011/12 season under Mourinho is still regarded as one of the most successful in the club's history, with Real Madrid earning 100 points and scoring 121 goals.

Although he sparked many controversies in the dressing room and with the Spanish media, Mourinho still commands great respect from many fans due to his strong personality and ability to build a combative team.

The return of "The Special One" is reportedly aimed at helping Real Madrid quickly stabilize the situation after recent upheavals. His extensive experience at the highest level and his skill in managing top global stars are factors that make the club's leadership highly value Mourinho.

If the deal is confirmed, July 13 will mark a memorable milestone as Mourinho officially begins a new chapter in his journey with the most decorated club in Europe.
