José Mourinho outlines mission after returning to Real Madrid

José Mourinho has returned to Real Madrid on a three-year deal, 13 years after his initial departure. In his first public remarks since rejoining, he expressed a commitment to instill a culture of responsibility, ambition, and teamwork. Mourinho acknowledged the challenges ahead, as many first-team players are currently unavailable due to their national team commitments for the FIFA World Cup. He indicated a focus on integrating young players from La Fábrica during the preseason, and his first test will be against ACF Fiorentina on August 1 in Klagenfurt, Austria. This marks a new chapter for Mourinho after a brief stint at Benfica, where he finished third in the league.
