Playful Mourinho Poster Appears Outside Bernabéu Before His Real Madrid Comeback

A Playful Tribute Welcomes Mourinho Back to Madrid. Fans show their excitement as a cheeky poster appears outside the Bernabéu

Excitement is clearly building in Madrid as José Mourinho edges closer to a sensational return to Real Madrid.

With the 2025/26 season nearing its conclusion, the Portuguese coach is widely expected to take charge once again, stepping in after Álvaro Arbeloa. The announcement is likely to come shortly after Los Blancos wrap up their La Liga campaign.

The anticipation among supporters is already visible. On Thursday, May 21, a playful and eye-catching poster of Mourinho appeared just outside the Santiago Bernabéu. In the image, he’s dressed in a sharp all-white suit, holding a banner that reads: “Madrid, I am back.”

It’s a lighthearted but clear message from fans who are eager to see the return of the man once known as “The Special One.”

Mourinho’s first spell at the club, between 2010 and 2013, brought success and intensity, including a La Liga title and a Copa del Rey triumph—memories that many supporters still cherish today.
