The presentation was a private affair, with the club only releasing images of the event on their official channels. This secrecy will also be applied to the introduction of the new players for the 2026/27 season, with the likes of Diomande, Marc Cucurella, Dumfries, Bernardo Silva, Konaté, and Carlos Espí joining the squad.
Mourinho has expressed his excitement about returning to the club he considers the pinnacle of a coach's career. He has stated that he considers himself one of the fans of Real Madrid and has always felt that way since he left the club. This emotional connection makes his return to work at the club even more special for him.
The first press conference of Mourinho as coach of Real Madrid will take place on Friday (21), the day before the team's debut in the Campeonato Espanhol against Espanyol.
