Jose Mourinho is expected to return to the helm of Real Madrid, but fans at the Santiago Bernabéu are still waiting for an official announcement. According to reports, although a verbal agreement has been reached, a number of institutional and financial obstacles are delaying the return of the 'Special One'. This is reported by Goal.com reports.
According to Diario AS, the main reason for the delay is the political situation at the club. For the first time since 2006, Real Madrid is preparing for presidential elections. Enrique Riquelme is expected to challenge incumbent Florentino Perez. Due to the power struggle, Perez has focused his attention on retaining his mandate and has temporarily put the coaching issue on hold.
Financial issues have also arisen. The €7 million release clause in Mourinho's contract with Benfica expired on May 26. Due to the elections, Real Madrid missed this deadline and is now forced to negotiate directly with the Portuguese club. Relations between the two clubs have cooled due to conflicts involving Alvaro Carreras and Vinicius Junior.
Despite administrative delays, Jose Mourinho has already begun planning to strengthen the squad. He has requested the transfer of Sporting CP captain Morten Hjulmand to bolster the midfield. He also intends to bring in his former protégé Marcus Rashford for the attack. In his coaching staff, he wants to see club legend Toni Kroos as an assistant.
