However, this time around, Mourinho will face an even greater challenge. The Real Madrid dressing room is currently divided, with issues such as a recent fight between Fede Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni causing tension within the squad. The team's hierarchy hopes that Mourinho's experience will help to improve the team's dynamics.

According to reports, Mourinho is set to meet with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez next week to finalize his return. He has already agreed on personal terms and is expected to sign a two-year contract in Madrid. Before joining Real Madrid, Mourinho informed Benfica of his intention to leave.

Mourinho's return to Real Madrid is seen as a significant move to address the team's current struggles. His experience and leadership are expected to play a crucial role in transforming the team's performance and improving their chances of success.
