José Mourinho has once again donned white. The Portuguese coach was officially presented as Real Madrid’s new manager at an event marked by huge anticipation in front of the media on 18 August 2026.

In his first remarks after taking charge, the Portuguese manager made no attempt to hide how much this new spell on the bench at Chamartín means to him. Mourinho said with conviction: “It feels like coming home again.”

The coach also underlined the difference between his two arrivals at the club from the Spanish capital. He explained that “the first time it was the feeling of reaching the top of a career as a coach,” whereas this return is being driven by “the emotional, affectionate side.”

At the same time, the Portuguese coach wanted to send a direct message to the Real Madrid supporters and make his commitment clear from the very first moment. Mourinho said firmly: “I am one of you. I have been since I left.”

Madridismo is now entering a new chapter under the Portuguese tactician. The fans are waiting eagerly to see the effect of his leadership on the pitch in the team’s upcoming matches.
