José Mourinho will not return to Real Madrid—neither now nor in the future.
Details: According to Diario AS columnist José Félix Díaz, the Madrid club's management has completely ruled out the option of appointing José Mourinho again in the future. Despite his rich history with the club, Real's current direction does not involve rekindling their partnership with the Portuguese manager.
The situation has become more tense amid the coach's disciplinary issues. Mourinho will not be allowed on the bench for the upcoming Champions League return leg at the Bernabéu due to suspension. This incident has only highlighted the reputational risks the club is no longer willing to take. In Madrid, they value José's contribution to the club's history, but consider that chapter definitively closed.
It is reported that any rumors about a possible coaching reshuffle in favor of the Portuguese specialist are completely unfounded.
It's worth noting that Mourinho was at the helm of Real from 2010 to 2013. During that time, Real played 178 matches under his leadership, winning 127, losing 23, and drawing 28.
Recall: At one point, Real was close to signing Benfica midfielder Gianluca Prestianni.
