The transfer market of Real Madrid would already have identified Didier Deschamps as a possible replacement for José Mourinho if the team's results do not improve, according to information from journalist Sergio Valentín of Radio MARCA. Florentino Pérez would have communicated this alternative to his inner circle, although there is no official confirmation that the club has made a decision regarding the future of the Portuguese coach.

The possibility arises just a few months after Mourinho's return, who signed until June 30, 2029. The board was hoping that his second stint would boost the team, but the inconsistent performance has raised doubts before a week with important commitments, including the classic against Barcelona.

Florentino Pérez prepares an alternative plan for Real Madrid

The continuity of José Mourinho will depend on the team's sporting evolution. The coach returned to the Santiago Bernabéu in the summer after his time at Benfica, and the club paid 15 million euros to release him from his contract, according to reports following the agreement.

The Portuguese has a three-season contract, but that duration does not rule out dismissal if results deviate from the objectives. Valentín's information suggests that Florentino Pérez has already informed trusted individuals of the name he deems suitable to take over if the situation does not change.

Real Madrid recently defeated Sevilla 4-1 in the League and came back against Roma in the Champions League, but these results have not dispelled all doubts about the team's performance. The upcoming classic could increase pressure on the bench, but there is no indication that the match has been set as a deadline for a decision.

Didier Deschamps back on Real Madrid's radar

Didier Deschamps, aged 57, is the identified name as an alternative. The Frenchman ended his tenure with the French national team after the 2026 World Cup and is available to take on a new project, either with a club or another national team.

His profile had previously been considered by Madrid before Mourinho's appointment. At that time, Deschamps was still committed to France, which made his immediate incorporation challenging. Now, with that chapter closed, he could negotiate directly with a club if an offer is made.

The French coach has an international track record that includes the 2018 World Cup title and the runner-up position in 2022. On a club level, one of his significant accomplishments was leading Monaco to the Champions League final in 2004. His experience in high-demand tournaments aligns with the type of profile the white entity usually seeks for their bench.

Mourinho's future depends on upcoming results

The potential arrival of Deschamps remains a hypothesis based on journalistic information, not a confirmed negotiation. There has been no public announcement that Real Madrid has formally contacted the French coach or that an economic agreement is prepared for his hiring.

Mourinho's contract extends until 2029, and he still has room to alter perceptions of his work. The immediate schedule, with the European clash against Leipzig and the classic against Barcelona, will provide new insights into the team's performance.

If results do not improve, Florentino Pérez may seriously consider the Deschamps alternative. Until then, the Portuguese coach remains at the helm of Real Madrid, and no decision regarding his continuity has been announced.
