According to a statement published on Real Madrid’s official
website, Mourinho will remain in charge of the team until June 30, 2029.
The club also confirmed that the Portuguese tactician will
officially begin his duties on July 13, when the team’s pre-season preparations
get underway ahead of the new campaign.

Board of Directors of Real Madrid CF, meeting today Thursday, June 11, and
chaired by Florentino Perez, has agreed to appoint Jose Mourinho as first team
coach for the next three seasons, until June 30, 2029."
The Portuguese coach was last in charge of Madrid between
2010 and 2013, winning one LaLiga title, a Copa del Rey and
a Supercopa de España. He also reached three Champions League semifinals.
