Jose Mourinho is poised to take charge of Real Madrid for a second time after agreeing terms on a two-year contract. The move comes as the club ends a trophy-less season marked by internal divisions and a distant second-place finish in LaLiga behind Barcelona.
Mourinho, currently at Benfica, is expected to replace Alvaro Arbeloa and return to the club he managed between 2010 and 2013. He faces an immediate challenge to unite a fractured dressing room after recent incidents including fights involving players such as Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde.
