Surprise claim for Mourinho: The strongest candidate for the world giant

As names for the head coaching position at Spanish giant Real Madrid change frequently, Jose Mourinho's name has once again begun to be linked with Madrid. 

While the club is accelerating its efforts for next season to replace current head coach Alvaro Arbeloa, former Fenerbahçe manager Mourinho has become one of the prominent candidates within the club.

PEREZ WILL MAKE THE CHOICE HIMSELF

It has been stated that Real Madrid President Florentino Perez will personally intervene regarding the team's new head coach this time. According to a report by The Athletic, the club's general manager Jose Angel Sanchez had a prominent influence on the appointment of Xabi Alonso last season. However, this season, the decision will be entirely in Perez's hands.

MOURINHO'S NAME IS ON THE AGENDA AS THE FAVORITE

Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho's name stands out as Perez's favorite candidate. Mourinho managed Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013 and achieved a historic success with 100 points, particularly with the 2012 La Liga title. During this period, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup were also won.

HIS CONTRACT WITH BENFICA CONTINUES

Mourinho has a contract with his current club, Benfica, until 2027. However, his contract includes a release clause of approximately 3 million euros that is valid within 10 days after the end of the season. 

Although it is stated that Perez is keen on signing Mourinho, some figures within the club are opposed to this choice. 

As the race among candidates for the head coaching position at Real Madrid continues, Mourinho's name once again stands out as one of the strongest options for the Santiago Bernabéu. Following President Perez's decision, the final developments regarding this transfer will become clear.
