Official: Mourinho to leave Real Madrid at end of season
Jose Mourinho will leave Real Madrid after three years as coach, paving the path for his return to England and a second stint as Chelsea's manager, AP reported.
Real Madrid President Florentino Perez announced at a news conference following a board meeting Monday that a mutual agreement was reached for Mourinho's departure.
The 50-year-old Portuguese coach has two matches remaining in a season that will end on June 1 without Madrid winning a major trophy.
Mourinho will leave having won only two major titles, the 2011 Copa del Rey and the 2012 league championship, and he failed to deliver the club's much-desired 10th European Cup. He was ejected from Friday's 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey final.
"This has been an insufficient season for us and also for Mourinho himself," Perez said.
