Real Madrid have announced that head coach Jose Mourinho will leave the club at the end of the season after three years in charge of the Spanish giants.

President Florentino Perez revealed the decision at a packed news conference.

Mourinho, 50, who has been linked with a return to Chelsea, won the league and Copa del Rey at Madrid.

"We've decided to bring our relationship to an end," said Perez. "Nobody's been sacked, it's a mutual agreement."

Real are currently 13 points behind Barcelona in the league and were beaten by city rivals Atletico in the Spanish Cup final last Friday.

iheneme: I don't know why he had to wait till he is sacked (in the name of mutual consent), the same phrase they used when he left Chelsea

Toluwarni:
eya.. you're still a learner.. WHY do you think Mancini waited when you get sacked you get compensated by the club.. I'm sure Mourinho is smiling to the bank right now

dayokanu: Let him go back to the EPL where he can boss them around and tag him special one.

In Spain it would be remembered how he was humiliated and whining how they dont love him

Biggest loss of his career was in Spain, First home loss of his career was in Spain

Red-Light:
but he is still the best manager of our time.. he is still somehow succeful in spain you know

hornipipe: What an overrated manager he is.
Smh.

Red-Light:
but he is still the best manager of our time.. he is still somehow successful in spain you know

Hope you read the statement from Perez, ''"The important thing is that we have recovered the level
that we didn't have before...."?
Madrid was far behind Barcelona when Muo came and now Madrid could boast of beating the ''best team in the world'' more than 5 times in 3 years! In about 18 years, Madrid reached UCL semi finals only 5 times, Muo reached UCL semi thrice in 3 years! His league points and goal records are there to stay for a while. Give it to Mou, he didn't fail woefully at Madrid just that he could not accomplish ALL his expectations!

Let's equate soccer to any kind of profession or career you desire or that you desire for your child, what type of child would you prefer? Ferguson, Del Bosque, Keshi, Klopp, Hiddink, Guardiola, Mancini, Wenger, Muorinho, Benitez, Conte, Heynces, Villa Boas, Ancelloti, Simeone.....etc? I'm very sure Muo will not carry last and Muo will always be among the top three. The record speaks.
