Real Madrid Parts Ways with Arbeloa as Mourinho Returns from Benfica
Real Madrid has agreed to part ways with head coach Álvaro Arbeloa, who took over in January but was unable to reverse the club's recent trophy drought. This departure paves the way for Jose Mourinho's return to Madrid, following a 15 million euro buyout from Benfica, where he was recently head coach. Mourinho previously managed Real Madrid from 2010 to 2013, winning several titles amid a notable rivalry with Barcelona. Benfica has appointed Marco Silva as Mourinho's successor on a two-year deal.
