José Mourinho described his return to Real Madrid as "like coming home" on Tuesday, speaking at his official presentation as the club's new head coach — a role he last held at the Santiago Bernabéu in 2013.

The Portuguese manager addressed the gathered media with familiar confidence, signalling that he intends to pick up where he left off with one of the world's most storied clubs. His previous spell at the helm produced a LaLiga title and left a lasting imprint on the club's identity.

Mourinho's reappointment marks one of the most high-profile managerial returns in European football, reuniting him with a club he guided through one of its most competitive domestic eras. The new chapter begins as Real Madrid prepare to re-enter the LaLiga title race under his guidance.
