Jose Mourinho’s return to Real Madrid is set to be confirmed after Florentino Perez was re-elected as president at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Perez confirmed the Portuguese’s expected return in his speech after seeing off the challenge of Enrique Riquelme, having made no secret of his intention to name Mourinho as head coach should he seal an eighth term in the role.
