According to reports on social media, Jose Mourinho, the 63-year-old coach, has signed a three-year contract as the head coach of Real Madrid. According to itsClemzy, the coach is expected to leave Benfica to lead the club for a second stint, with the official announcement contingent on the conclusion of the club's presidential elections.

Alongside the announcement of his appointment, the professional principles the Portuguese sets for building the squad have been revealed. According to theMadridZone, Mourinho made it clear to the club's management that he "NOT want them to sign any stars" this summer. Instead, he demands players who are "HUNGRY", "with NO EGO", and possess a high fighting spirit.
