José Mourinho has been called back to Real Madrid after every cup they've won since he left, a pattern that has been repeated. The confirmation of his return comes from a Netflix documentary series about the Portuguese coach, as reported by The Guardian Football, citing the series director Joe Pearlman. Mourinho's return to Real Madrid is a significant development, given his past successes with the club.
Mourinho's childhood, marked by his father's death in June 2017, has had a lasting impact on his life. According to Pearlman, Mourinho has never fully processed his grief, which has led to a "rucksack of pain" that he carries with him. This pain has been exacerbated by his past losses and disappointments, including his time at Chelsea and Roma.
Mourinho is known for his ego, charisma, and tactical acumen, which have been key to his success, but also contribute to his difficulties in forming close relationships. The documentary series provides a unique insight into Mourinho's personality and the factors that drive him, and his return to Real Madrid is a testament to his enduring appeal.
Florentino Pérez, the club's president, has already reached out to Mourinho to congratulate him on his return, citing his role in modernising the club.
