Jose Mourinho back at Real Madrid with a “mission”

MADRID, July 13 — Jose Mourinho returned to Real Madrid’s Valdebebas training center on Monday to begin preseason training after taking charge of the club’s first team for a second spell.

With many of Real Madrid’s first-team players, such as Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe, still at the World Cup, Mourinho will not be able to train with the full squad for some time. However, he told Real Madrid TV that work had begun long before Monday’s opening session.
