Florentino Perez's campaign team announced on Wednesday evening the return of Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho, immediately following Enrique Riquelme's appearance on the program "El Hormiguero." Riquelme, a Spanish businessman, had been expected to announce the signing of a prominent player.
Florentino Perez responded to Riquelme with a short video clip featuring Mourinho in a Real Madrid shirt, delivering a concise yet decisive message: "Yes."
This announcement implies that should Florentino Perez win the elections scheduled for next Sunday, Mourinho will return to manage Real Madrid, a club he previously coached between 2010 and 2013.
It is worth noting that since Mourinho's departure from Real Madrid in 2013, he has managed six different clubs over 13 years, most notably Chelsea and Manchester United, with his most recent role being at Portuguese club Benfica.

Florentino Perez's campaign team announced Jose Mourinho's potential return to Real Madrid should Perez win the upcoming presidential elections. This declaration came shortly after a rival's expected player signing announcement, with Perez responding via a video clip featuring Mourinho.
What is Jose Mourinho's previous history with Real Madrid?
Jose Mourinho previously managed Real Madrid for three seasons, from 2010 to 2013. Since his departure, he has coached several prominent clubs across Europe, including two English giants, before his most recent role in Portugal.
When would Jose Mourinho return to Real Madrid?
Jose Mourinho would return to manage Real Madrid immediately if Florentino Perez secures victory in the upcoming presidential elections. The announcement from Perez's campaign team explicitly links Mourinho's comeback to a successful electoral outcome for the current president.
