Mourinho's Real Madrid European revival bid starts with Inter reunion
When Jose Mourinho left Inter Milan for Real Madrid in the summer of 2010, after leading the Italian outfit to Champions League glory, he was at the peak of his powers.Inter beat Bayern 2-0 in the Champions League final at Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu stadium, winning the trophy for the first time since 1965 and becoming the first Italian team to win the treble.
Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid's current coach, is set to lead his team against former club Inter Milan in the first match of his European comeback. The Portuguese manager, who left Inter in 2010 after leading them to a historic treble, is now aiming to restore Real Madrid's European dominance after a recent dip in form. Inter, who have not reached the Champions League final since 2023, will be Mourinho's first European test since returning to Real Madrid this summer.
Both Mourinho and Inter have yet to replicate their past success in European competitions, with Inter eliminated in the quarter-finals by both Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain in recent years. Mourinho's main objective is to guide Real Madrid back to the top of European football, facing their former club in a crucial match.
