MADRID: Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho (pictured) have agreed the Portuguese coach will leave the La Liga club at the end of the season, three years before the end of his contract, president Florentino Perez said yesterday.
“After the talks with our coach Jose Mourinho we have reached the agreement to end the contractual relationship at the end of this season,” Perez said at a news conference at Real’s Bernabeu stadium.
“Both the club and the coach agree that it is the right moment to end this relationship.”
He also added that a replacement for Mourinho had not been lined up.
“We have not agreed any pre-contract with any coach. That is a job for the next few days,” added Perez.
The former Chelsea coach has been touted as a possible replacement for Rafa Benitez, who announced he will leave when his contract finishes this summer. REUTERS
