José Mourinho has officially been presented as the new head coach of Real Madrid, marking the beginning of another important chapter between the Portuguese manager and the Spanish giants.
The presentation ceremony took place in the boardroom at Ciudad Real Madrid, where Mourinho was welcomed by club president Florentino Pérez. During the event, the Portuguese coach signed the contract that will keep him in charge of the first team for the next three seasons, until June 30, 2029.
The ceremony was held in a formal and symbolic atmosphere, reflecting the importance of Mourinho’s arrival. After putting pen to paper, the new Real Madrid coach received several special gifts from the club. Mourinho was presented with a replica of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, a commemorative watch and a Real Madrid shirt bearing his name.
The event was also attended by Real Madrid’s honorary president, José Martínez “Pirri”, adding further prestige to Mourinho’s official welcome.
For Florentino Pérez and Real Madrid, the appointment represents the start of a new sporting project. Mourinho arrives with enormous experience at the highest level and with a deep understanding of the demands surrounding the Spanish club. His personality, winning mentality and ability to manage elite squads are expected to play a major role in Real Madrid’s ambitions over the coming seasons.
Mourinho is, of course, already very familiar with the institution. His connection with Real Madrid and his previous experience at the Santiago Bernabéu mean that he understands exactly what is expected from a coach in the Spanish capital: competing for every trophy, maintaining the highest standards and delivering success both domestically and in Europe.

The three-year contract demonstrates the club’s confidence in the Portuguese manager and gives him the opportunity to build a competitive team capable of challenging on all fronts. Real Madrid will be targeting LaLiga, the Champions League, the Copa del Rey and every other competition in which the club participates.
Mourinho will also have the responsibility of integrating the club’s new signings, developing younger players and finding the right tactical balance within a squad packed with talent. Expectations will naturally be extremely high from the very beginning.
His official presentation comes at a crucial moment, with Real Madrid preparing for the start of the new season. After weeks of preparation, tactical work and pre-season matches, attention will now turn toward competitive football.
For Mourinho, the ceremony at Ciudad Real Madrid was much more than a simple contract signing. It officially confirmed his new mission at one of the biggest clubs in world football.
José Mourinho is officially the head coach of Real Madrid, and his new era will run until June 30, 2029.
