Sami Khedira is reportedly close to returning to Real Madrid to work on José Mourinho’s coaching staff. Multiple outlets cite Khedira’s prior connection with Mourinho during the Portuguese coach’s first spell at the club, when Khedira worked with him at the Bernabéu. Khedira’s return is presented as part of Mourinho’s preparations for his time back at the helm, with Khedira expected to take on a staff role rather than a playing position.
One report notes that Khedira, now in his late 30s, previously worked with Mourinho during the earlier period at Real Madrid, establishing a working relationship that could be revived. Another source, referencing commentary from Fabrizio Romano, says Khedira is set to begin work in July, aligning the timeline with Mourinho’s planned staff setup. The reports broadly agree that the move involves Khedira joining Mourinho’s backroom team and that his involvement is tied to their earlier professional link at the club. No additional responsibilities beyond the coaching staff role are specified in the provided accounts.
