Real Madrid announced the reappointment of Jose Mourinho as manager on Thursday, with a contract lasting three years. The Portuguese coach returns to the club after previously leading them to a record-breaking LaLiga title. He is set to begin his second tenure on July 13, when preseason starts.

This decision comes on the heels of a disappointing domestic season, marked by Barcelona's league victory in 'El Clasico.' The club's failure to advance past the Champions League quarter-finals for two consecutive years has pressured club president Florentino Perez to make significant changes.

Mourinho, known for his tenure from 2010-2014, brings expertise in managing high-profile squads. Despite recent skepticism about his pragmatic style in modern soccer, his ability to handle dressing room dynamics may positively impact a team featuring stars like Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham.
