Overview
- Khedira joined José Mourinho's coaching staff this summer and has already taken on hands‑on duties during preseason training sessions.
- Reports from multiple outlets say his influence was visible in early August when he led much of the warm‑up and directed players in the friendly in Klagenfurt.
- Inside the club sources praise his communication and leadership, saying he has returned more openly and now acts as a bridge between Mourinho and the squad.
- There is internal speculation, not formally confirmed by the club, that Khedira could assume some of Mourinho's media or press duties similar to Aitor Karanka's past role.
- Khedira brings prior rapport with Mourinho from 2010–2015, experience as a TV analyst and a 2022 UEFA Executive Master, and the club hopes his role will help restore Real Madrid to winning form.
