Real Madrid is on the verge of opening a new chapter in its history. The club's former coach, known in the football world as "The Special One," Jose Mourinho, has returned to the Santiago Bernabéu. The Portuguese tactician's second stint at the helm of the Madrid giants is sparking intense debate among fans and experts alike. Florentino Perez's decision is part of a strategy to lead the club back to the pinnacle of European football. This is reported by Goal.com reports .
Former Portuguese national team player Jorge Andrade praised Mourinho's return in an interview with AS.

Andrade described Mourinho not just as a coach, but as a true "star" and mentor for young professionals. This appointment is expected to provide a unique boost for the "Royal Club" after a trophy-less last season.
Working with stars and new tactics
Mourinho's return to Madrid is closely tied to the future of world-class stars like Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham. The partnership with French forward Kylian Mbappe, in particular, is generating significant interest.

Jorge Andrade noted that Mourinho's style of communicating with the press and fans, as well as his demeanor, was one of the biggest victories in Florentino Perez's campaign. "He is a source of inspiration for coaches. Jose is enjoying his work more than he did during his first stint in Madrid (2010-2013) because he is much more experienced now," says Andrade.
Champions League — the main goal
