Jose Mourinho is already drawing up a ruthless recruitment plan as he prepares to take the reins at Real Madrid for a second time. The Portuguese tactician has reportedly identified four key areas of the squad that require immediate investment to end the club's two-year trophy drought, informing the club hierarchy that any title charge must begin with upgrades at centre-back, right-back, left-back, and across the midfield.

Jose Mourinho has signed a three-year contract to make a sensational return as the head coach of Real Madrid until June 2029. The 63-year-old Portuguese tactician, who previously managed the Spanish giants between 2010 and 2013, was secured by club president Florentino Perez to revive the team following a second successive trophyless campaign.

Fulham manager Marco Silva is on the verge of leaving the Premier League side to take over at Benfica. The Portuguese tactician has reportedly reached a verbal agreement to succeed Jose Mourinho, despite Fulham offering him a significantly more lucrative contract to stay at Craven Cottage. Silva's imminent departure marks the end of a successful spell in London.

Former Chelsea midfielder Gus Poyet has backed the club's decision to appoint Xabi Alonso instead of pursuing a sensational return for Jose Mourinho. Despite Alonso's recent struggles in La Liga, Poyet believes the Spaniard's modern tactical approach and a lack of European football at Stamford Bridge will create the perfect environment for him to build a new identity.
