The Portuguese, 63, will try to steady the ship in the Spanish capital after what has been another disastrous season for Los Blancos.
The giants went trophyless again, as dressing room discontent triggered a mid-season managerial change and even a fight that left Federico Valverde with a “traumatic brain injury” and a €500,000 fine.
But the former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur tactician is already on the lookout for talent to change his side’s fotunes.
And the first port of call it seems was the Olympiastadion in Berlin, where he watched Harry Kane‘s hat-trick fire the Bavarians to a DFB Pokal trophy.

Real Madrid eye Erling Haaland transfer after Pep Guardiola’s Man City exit
As much as he would appreciate a star like Kane, he is believed to have been keeping a closer eye on winger Michael Olise.
But honorary Bayern president Uli Hoeness was having none of it, and sent Mourinho a stark warning about his chances in his chase for the Frenchman.
Hoeness told Sky Sports when asked about the coach keeping an eye on the star: “He can cast five eyes on Olise, he won’t get him.
“He remains unsellable. I hope I don’t run into him, because he could have saved himself the trip from Madrid.”

It is not surprise the executive is so eager to hold onto the winger, who has produced 35 goal contributions across just 32 league games this season.
He is also set to star for France at the World Cup next month, which will surely boost whatever extreme price tag Bayern might place on his head.
Olise is not the only goal machine that Mourinho is interested in.
Erling Haaland is being monitored by Madrid in case there is any chance of a Manchester City exit following the departure of Pep Guardiola.
The Spanish mastermind brought the big Norwegian to the Premier League, but there is no indication regarding how much his exit could affect Haaland’s happiness at the Etihad.
They are also probing for his City team-mate Rodri, who could also follow his compatriot out the door.
