Journalist makes major claim about Real Madrid’s next manager – ‘All roads lead to him’

The possibility of Jose Mourinho making a sensational return to Real Madrid is no longer being treated as a distant rumour. In fact, momentum behind the operation now appears stronger than ever.

According to the latest reports emerging from Jose Felix Diaz (h/y Madrid Zone), there is growing belief that Mourinho is on the verge of becoming the club’s next head coach, with confidence around the appointment reportedly reaching extremely high levels internally.

As per the journalist, ‘there is a 90% chance that Mourinho will be Real Madrid’s next coach, and that all roads lead to him.’

Despite multiple elite coaches being linked with the position in recent months, reports claim Real Madrid have not seriously advanced negotiations with other managerial candidates.

Instead, the focus has remained centred on Mourinho, reinforcing the feeling that Florentino Perez already knows who he wants leading the next phase of the project.

Relationship is the driving force

Notably, the relationship between Mourinho and Perez has never truly disappeared.

Even after their intense and controversial spell together ended more than a decade ago, the two figures maintained mutual respect, regular contact and a shared sense that their story at Real Madrid was never fully completed.
