Jose Mourinho has been formally presented as Real Madrid’s new manager, marking the official start of his second spell at the club. Although he has already overseen pre‑season preparations, the ceremony was scheduled to fit the club’s calendar just ahead of their Liga debut. Standing alongside president Florentino Pérez, Mourinho posed with the Madrid shirt and in front of the club’s iconic display of 15 Champions League trophies, symbolising the weight of expectation surrounding his return.
The event served as a public confirmation of his leadership after weeks in charge behind the scenes. Following the presentation, Real Madrid TV aired a highlights reel celebrating standout moments from his previous tenure at the Santiago Bernabéu. The unveiling reinforces the club’s ambition as they enter a new campaign under a familiar and polarising figure.
