Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho has stated that he will not leave the Spanish giants this summer, despite reports linking him with an exit from the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Portuguese manager had a successful spell in charge at Chelsea, winning two Premier League titles.
With the Blues having sacked Andre Villas Boas earlier this term and yet to decide on a full-time head coach, with Roberto Di Matteo in charge on an interim basis, reports have stated that ‘The Special One’ could return.
Despite links of a return to the Premier League and Stamford Bridge, Mourinho has stated that he has no intention of leaving the Spanish capital.
“I have a contract and there is no reason why I wouldn’t stay,” he told reporters, published by The Telegraph.
“It is better to stay at a club for four or five years. At the moment my future is not important but I think I will be here next season.
“I have a contract and once we arrive at the end of the season I will have time to speak with the players and the directors and we will decide what is best for me, for the club and for the squad,” he confessed.
Real Madrid take on Bayern Munich in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday, and Mourinho knows he could face his former club in the final.
“The final of the Champions League is the most important thing in football. Wednesday is almost like a long-awaited final, but I see calmness in the players. I don’t like an excess of emotion, nor a lack of it,” he concluded.
