Real Madrid presents Jose Mourinho as new coach in a private event

Today, August 18, Real Madrid presented Jose Mourinho as its new coach. It is not news that is too surprising because the Portuguese has been in charge of the white team for more than a month, but it is a fact that draws attention due to its forms. The Madrid team has decided to put an end to its classic presentations in the Valdebebas basketball pavilion, with the new signings accompanied by their families and members of the Board of Directors. This summer, Madrid has become even more bunkered in this regard.

At half past two in the afternoon this Tuesday, Real Madrid Television broadcast 40 seconds of a video recorded at noon with different images of Mourinho and Florentino Pérez in the Valdebebas board room. Hugging, smiling, signing the contract that binds the Portuguese to Madrid until 2029 and watching the video that the communications department had put together for the occasion. They posed with the club's European Cups, with the white t-shirt with the Portuguese name on the back, they hugged again and sealed the event. Little more. After signing, Mourinho received a replica of the stadium, a watch and a shirt with his name on it.

40 seconds without speeches or statements to introduce the new coach. A few minutes later, the club's television broadcast the Portuguese's first statements, also recorded: "This is more beautiful than the first time on the emotional side. I am one of you, I have always been since I left. Now, with this responsibility, you can imagine what it means for me to be with Madrid. It is a responsibility," said the Portuguese, who will give his first interview as Madrid coach this Tuesday night at El Chiringuito.

The whites thus launch the cycle of presentations they plan to make over the next few days. All following the same pattern: private events with Florentino and the signings, six in total, and at most with a family member of the players.
