Real Madrid Confirm Dani Carvajal Exit as Mourinho Hired

Real Madrid announced that Dani Carvajal will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season. The club also confirmed that Jose Mourinho has been appointed as the new manager.

Carvajal has spent 13 seasons as a first‑team regular, contributing to the team's successes over more than a decade. His tenure includes numerous domestic and European titles.

For several weeks, it was widely assumed that Carvajal would depart, and the club’s statement confirmed those expectations. The announcement removes any doubt about his future with the club.

Mourinho’s agreement with Real Madrid was confirmed on the same day as Carvajal’s departure notice. The Portuguese coach will take charge ahead of the upcoming campaign.

Carvajal’s contract runs until the close of the current campaign, and the club has chosen not to extend it. No renewal option was exercised.

No further details regarding Carvajal’s next destination have been released by the club. The statement focused solely on the contract expiration.

Real Madrid will now plan its defensive options for the next season without Carvajal. The club’s preparations will continue under Mourinho’s leadership.
