Jose Mourinho commits future to Real Madrid, ignores Chelsea link
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has dismissed rumors of a Madrid exit in the summer, insisting he was going to remain at the La Liga club next season.
After winning just the Copa del Rey with Madrid this season, Mourinho has admittedly failed to live up to the expectations which were present when he arrived at the club.
Mourinho arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2010 after leading Serie A side Inter Milan to a historic treble.
Following his success with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan, more if not the same was expected in Spain. The Special One was expected to be the manager who would break Barcelona’s monopoly and lead Madrid to winning ways once again.
The 48-year-old Portuguese manager has not done too bad, defeating http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 1-0 in the Copa del Rey final to return the coveted cup to Madrid after 18 long years.
Despite that, he was expected to leave Madrid at the end of the season for being unable to win the La Liga crown and the UEFA Champions League.
With former side http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 having sacked Italian manager Carlo Ancelotti, Mourinho is amongst the managers linked with replacing him.
Even though Mourinho has previously admitted his undying http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Love-c22466 for the London side, he recently revealed he had no plans of returning to the Premier League side.
Mourinho said on the club’s official website:
“The season has finished and I want to thank the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid supporters for all the affection and support they have given to both the team and the coaching staff.
We've worked seriously and with dedication, but obviously we leave to you the analysis the work this squad has done during this last year.
We will return on July 11 with the same passion and with the same motivation as always to continue trying to dignify the prestige and the incomparable history of Real Madrid.”
Mourinho is currently contracted to Real Madrid for three more years and despite the rumors circulating, he will most likely be retained by the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 outfit.
Apart from a few hiccups this season, Mourinho managed to secure 44 wins this season, with 9 draws and 6 losses.
