According to information from Mundo Deportivo, José Mourinho is not expected to extend his contract with AS Roma, which expires in June 2024. This contractual situation has piqued Real Madrid’s interest, as they are already searching for a potential replacement for Carlo Ancelotti.
The idea of Mourinho making a return to Real Madrid has gained traction internally, with several club executives advocating for it. A decision regarding the next coach should be made soon for the upcoming summer. José Mourinho is on the list, along with Xabi Alonso and Zinedine Zidane.
