The Chosen One is back. Jose Mourinho has been appointed the new head coach of Real Madrid on a three-year deal, marking his sensational return to the Spanish capital after 13 years.

Mourinho, 63, replaces Alvaro Arbeloa after Madrid went two seasons in a row without a major trophy.

He will join Madrid next month as the contingent gears up for pre-season ahead of the start of La Liga.

Mourinho has joined Madrid from Benfica, where the Lisbon club completed an unbeaten run, but finished third. On Wednesday, Benfica confirmed that Madrid were paying 15 million euros to acquire Mourinho's services.

Earlier, Mourinho managed Madrid from 2010 to 2013, winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup.

His task at Real Madrid will be completely different this time around as he aims to keep the egos within the dressing room in check.
