Jose Mourinho is flying to Spain this Wednesday afternoon to complete his return to Real Madrid on a three-year contract. The former Chelsea manager plans to head straight to the training ground to begin work immediately, opting to skip any formal press conference or welcoming ceremony until his new contract officially begins in the Spanish capital this July.

Jose Mourinho has taken to social media to pen a heartfelt goodbye to Benfica fans, players, and staff as he prepares to seal a blockbuster return to Real Madrid. The legendary Portuguese coach spent a single, productive season back at the Estadio da Luz, but the lure of a second stint in the Spanish capital has proved impossible to turn down.

Benfica have officially ushered in a new era at the Estadio da Luz by confirming Marco Silva has agreed to become their new head coach. The former Fulham boss arrives in Lisbon just as the legendary Jose Mourinho departs the club to secure a sensational return to Real Madrid.

Jose Mourinho is reportedly on the brink of an emotional return to Real Madrid following Florentino Perez re-election as club president, but the Portuguese tactician isn't heading back to the Spanish capital for a mere nostalgia trip. The 'Special One' is driven by a singular goal that escaped him during his first three-year stint at the helm of the world's most successful club.
