Real Madrid confirmed the appointment of 63-year-old Jose Mourinho as head coach on a three-year contract, with Mourinho scheduled to join on July 13 following a £13m compensation payment to Benfica. Florentino Perez, re-elected as president with 65% of votes, oversaw the move after two trophyless seasons for the club. Mourinho previously managed Real Madrid from 2010 to 2013 and has held positions at multiple European clubs.
