This market will resolve according to the person who is appointed as the next permanent manager of Real Madrid. If no permanent manager is appointed by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to "Other." Appointments of 'interim,' 'caretaker,' or other non-permanent managers will not impact this market's resolution. An announcement of a new permanent manager's appointment before this market's close date will immediately resolve this market to the corresponding option, regardless of when the announced appointment goes into effect. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Real Madrid; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.José Mourinho’s emergence as Real Madrid’s sole active candidate in advanced negotiations with president Florentino Pérez has driven overwhelming trader consensus toward his appointment as the club’s next head coach. Recent reports confirm he is the only name in serious discussions to replace current manager Álvaro Arbeloa, who publicly endorsed Mourinho and described him as “number one” for the role following a turbulent season that included prior coaching changes after Carlo Ancelotti and Xabi Alonso. Benfica’s season conclusion and a contractual exit clause further align the timeline for a potential announcement after Madrid’s campaign wraps. While the current market pricing reflects this momentum, scenarios such as an unexpected breakdown in talks or a late pivot by Pérez could still shift probabilities toward alternatives like Arbeloa or Zidane.
