José Mourinho has officially been appointed as the new manager of Real Madrid, signing a contract that extends through June 2029. This return marks thirteen years since his initial, and self-described “difficult,” tenure with the club. His first league match in charge saw Real Madrid defeat Espanyol 2-1. The announcement coincided with the start of the World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Details beyond the contract and initial match result were limited in the provided text. The original Slovak article also noted potentially unfavorable comments from Mourinho regarding a dispute with player Vinícius, drawing comparisons to Slovakian political discourse.
