Mourinho Sets Conditions for Real Madrid Return -

Portuguese manager José Mourinho has reportedly outlined two key demands ahead of his expected return to Real Madrid as head coach.

According to reports, Mourinho has already reached a final agreement with the Spanish giants and is set to take over at the Santiago Bernabéu ahead of the 2026/27 season.

The 63-year-old is expected to sign a two-year contract, with an option to extend for an additional year.

As part of his plans to reshape the squad, Mourinho has requested the signing of Danish midfielder Morten Hjulmand from Sporting CP.

The midfielder is seen as a key addition to strengthen Madrid’s options in the middle of the park.

In addition to transfer targets, Mourinho has also asked the club to include a former Real Madrid player in his coaching staff.

The role would serve as a bridge between the dressing room and the club’s hierarchy, helping to maintain strong internal communication.

Several former Los Blancos stars, including Toni Kroos, Sergio Ramos, and Marcelo, have been mentioned as possible candidates for such a position.

Mourinho’s return marks a significant moment for Real Madrid, as the club looks to usher in a new era under one of football’s most experienced and decorated managers.
