Real Madrid appoints Mourinho as manager again; Militao backs the decision

Real Madrid announced on Thursday the appointment of Jose Mourinho as the club’s new manager on a three-year contract, marking his second stint after previously coaching the team from 2010 to 2013. Defender Eder Militao gave his verdict, telling SportyBet that Mourinho is a great manager and he is looking forward to next season, adding that personal well-being and family stability help performance flow better.

The Portuguese coach’s return brings back a trophy-winning era, having previously secured La Liga and Copa del Rey titles with Los Blancos. For Nigerian football fans who follow European clubs, Mourinho’s tactics and high-profile personality often spark debate and interest, especially regarding how his style might affect any Nigerian players in the squad or future transfer targets.

The official start date for Mourinho’s tenure has not been specified in the announcement, but the contract runs through 2029. Supporters can expect his signature defensive organization and counter‑attacking approach to shape Real Madrid’s campaign in La Liga and the Champions League.
