Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid return

Entities: Netflix · Zlatan Ibrahimović · José Mourinho · BMW · Sir Alex Ferguson

Overview

In June 2026, Jose Mourinho was re‑appointed as head coach of Real Madrid on a three‑year deal, tasked with restoring discipline, work ethic and a winning mentality. He pledged a more collaborative, altruistic approach, intensified training sessions and greater use of youth‑academy players, while also receiving a high‑profile partnership gift—a BMW XM to share with senior squad members.

Later that month, Netflix announced a three‑part documentary titled “Mourinho” set for release on 11 August 2026. The series, filmed over two years, chronicles Mourinho’s rise from his early coaching days to his status as one of football’s most titled and controversial figures, featuring interviews with the manager himself and icons such as Sir Alex Ferguson, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Iker Casillas and Didier Drogba.
