José Mourinho wants Sami Khedira back at Real Madrid. The former Germany midfielder is in talks to join him as assistant coach.
Sky Sports reported that Mourinho personally pushed for the appointment. Khedira has already given his blessing to the move.
Final negotiations should wrap up within days. Club officials expect to complete the deal this month.
The 39-year-old will work on the training ground and in the dressing room. His experience with top clubs makes him valuable for Madrid's setup.
Khedira should be in place before pre-season begins. Mourinho officially starts his job on July 1.
