Real Madrid president Florentino Perez says he will bring Jose Mourinho back as manager if he wins Sunday’s election.
Jose Mourinho will return to manage Real Madrid if Florentino Perez wins the club’s presidential election on Sunday, the sitting president has declared as he campaigns for another term at the helm of the La Liga club.
Perez, facing renewable energy entrepreneur Enrique Riquelme in the club’s first contested election in 20 years, delivered the campaign announcement on his social media channels with a short video featuring Mourinho simply saying “Yes!” The clip followed the slogan “So MOUch history to be made”, a not-so-subtle nod to the Portuguese coach who guided Real to a record La Liga points tally in 2012, but last lifted a league title with Chelsea in 2015. The move for Mourinho follows a disappointing domestic campaign in which Barcelona secured back-to-back league titles.
