Mansion Sports – Jose Mourinho is on the verge of a dramatic return to the Bernabeu after reportedly reaching a verbal agreement to become the next Real Madrid manager.

After spending the last season with Benfica, the legendary Portuguese coach is set to replace Alvaro Arbeloa and begin his second spell with the Spanish giants.

"Special One" Ready to Begin Chapter Two

Mourinho is now very close to a sensational return to Real Madrid, with a verbal agreement reportedly already in place for him to take over in the Spanish capital, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The 63-year-old has been offered a two-year contract to return and lead Los Blancos, more than a decade after first leaving the club in 2013.

The deal is expected to be finalized after Madrid’s final La Liga match of the season against Athletic Bilbao, which will mark the end of Arbeloa’s short managerial spell.

This appointment follows a turbulent period for the Spanish giants, who saw Xabi Alonso’s tenure come to an early end before Arbeloa took charge in January.

However, another trophyless season has forced president Florentino Perez to turn once again to a familiar figure. Mourinho, famous for leading Madrid to a La Liga title with a record 100 points, is viewed as the man capable of restoring order and authority to a dressing room that has struggled for consistency.

Although the coach previously stated there was a "99 percent chance" he would remain at Benfica, the appeal of the Bernabeu appears to have completely changed the situation.

Unbeaten but Without a Trophy in Lisbon

This move comes after a truly unique season for Mourinho at Estadio da Luz. He guided Benfica through a historic campaign by remaining unbeaten throughout the Primeira Liga season, yet somehow still failed to win the title.

Despite completing an unbeaten season, too many draws resulted in the Eagles finishing third behind rivals Porto and Sporting CP.

That bittersweet record appears to have paved the way for his departure, as the attraction of returning to Madrid proved too strong to ignore.

Although Benfica supporters will be disappointed to see him leave, the opportunity to lead Real Madrid’s latest project is an offer the veteran coach could not refuse.

Bold Transfer Move for Marcus Rashford

With his return nearly completed, Mourinho is already thinking about strengthening his attacking options and reportedly has a familiar target in mind.

Reports suggest Mourinho is prepared to personally facilitate a move for his former Manchester United player, Marcus Rashford.

The England international spent this season on loan at Camp Nou, but Barcelona’s financial difficulties have reportedly opened the door for Madrid to make a move.

Mourinho is believed to view the forward’s pace and versatility as an ideal fit for his tactical blueprint at the Bernabeu.

Hijacking a major target from their El Clasico rivals would be a classic Mourinho power move, potentially signaling the beginning of an aggressive new era for Los Blancos in the transfer market.

A New Era in the Capital

By bringing Mourinho back, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is once again placing his trust in a proven winner who fully understands the enormous pressure and political dynamics of the Bernabeu.

An official announcement is expected to be made soon, with Mourinho scheduled to travel to Madrid early next week.

For loyal Real Madrid supporters, the return of the "Special One" promises the comeback of determined football that defined his first spell.

Just as when he first joined the club in 2010, his mission will be to dethrone Barcelona from the top of La Liga and restore Real Madrid as genuine contenders for Champions League glory.
