According to Spanish media, Mourinho aims to bring a former club player into his staff, with Khedira being his preferred candidate. The Portuguese coach brought the German midfielder to Madrid in 2010, and they worked together until 2013.

Khedira remained at Real until 2015, winning a La Liga title, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup under Mourinho. In recent years, he has also worked as a television pundit. The name of former Portuguese defender Pepe also surfaced in connection with a potential addition to Real's coaching staff, but he has dismissed speculation about a return to the club.
