Jose Mourinho's return to Real Madrid is now a thing of the past. The Portuguese tactician faces a monumental challenge as he seeks to reinvigorate a team that has not won a trophy in two years.

Before bringing in new players, Mourinho needs to assemble his coaching staff. He has essentially poached the entire technical team from Benfica, his former club. Mourinho will bring all his colleagues from Lisbon to Madrid, led by João Tralhão, an assistant coach he values for his tactical preparation and work with the team during training.

Pedro Machado, another assistant coach, will also join Mourinho's staff. Nuno Santos, renowned for his work with goalkeepers, will be responsible for training the goalies. Roberto Merela, known for his detailed analysis of opponents, will prepare comprehensive reports for matches.

Mourinho is known for his meticulous attention to detail, and it is clear that his analysts will play a significant role in the team's strategy and preparation.
