Real Madrid to Announce Mourinho's Return Within Days

Spanish giants Real Madrid are set to officially announce José Mourinho as their new head coach either Sunday or Monday, following the conclusion of the La Liga season, ESPN reports. The Portuguese tactician has already reached a verbal agreement with the "Los Blancos" hierarchy, with only the formal signing of documents remaining. According to preliminary information, Mourinho will sign a two-year contract, marking his return to the Spanish capital.

Real Madrid endured a disappointing season by their own high standards, failing to secure a major trophy for the second consecutive year. They finished second in the league and were eliminated in the Champions League quarterfinals. Madrid's final match of the season is against Athletic Bilbao at the Santiago Bernabéu, and José Mourinho is expected to be in attendance.
