Speculation over Jose Mourinho's future intensified yesterday after he reportedly told youth team coaches he would not be manager of Real Madrid next season.
Spanish sports daily As raised the prospect of the Portuguese’s departure from the nine-time European champions in an interview with Manuel Alvarez, club president of Canillas, where the Real boss delivered a coaching master class on Monday.

“Mourinho told us that next year he wouldn’t be able to give the master class, that it would be impossible because he would no longer be here. He said it half jokingly, half seriously,” Alvarez was quoted as saying.
“He didn’t tell us where he was going because we didn’t ask him any further questions,” he added.
