Real Madrid is reportedly close to appointing José Mourinho as their new head coach, incurring a significant financial obligation in the process. The club is expected to pay approximately €7 million to terminate Mourinho’s current contract early, which is considered a considerable amount for a managerial transfer.
The decision comes after a lackluster season for Los Blancos, during which they finished without any trophies. In response, the club has initiated a comprehensive overhaul, beginning with changes to the squad and now turning its attention to securing a new leadership figure.
An official announcement regarding Mourinho’s appointment is anticipated as early as next week. The former coach is poised to begin his new role in Madrid on June 1.
