Jose Mourinho Considering Sensational Summer Exit From Real Madrid - Report
Jose Mourinho plotting Real Madrid exit in the summer, reports from Spain suggest.

Jose Mourinho is considering his future at Real Madrid after becoming disillusioned by the behaviour of the club in recent weeks, reports from Spain suggest.

Publication AS remarks that the Portuguese tactician has been left outraged by the recent refusal to bring in a striker, despite his insistence that a new addition was necessary both in the summer and in the current window, with prime target Fernando Llorente remaining at Athletic Bilbao.

Tensions with general director, Jorge Valdano, are also coming to a head, with the Argentine making reference to the decision to leave Karim Benzema on the bench for the weekend draw at Almeria in a post-match interview, which was not to Mourinho's liking.

He is of the belief that the club does not have the correct structure in order to succeed, and along with his lack of options in forward positions, the decision to delay negotiating a new contract with defender Pepe is in opposition to the repeated requests of the coach.

Should the former Chelsea boss choose to walk away from the Santiago Bernabeu, he will not be short of options, with the likes of Manchester City and former club Inter sure to express an interest in securing his services.

If he goes to city they have the league sewn up for as long as he stays.

That's what they all said about Real.

So for one season then.

So for one season then.

Real will be the first club he has left after one season, if he does indeed leave.

I'm honestly afraid that he will end up there for he will dominate the league.

It's a good job football is far more subtle than that.

Yes Barca are possible the greatest club side ever seen. What's your point?

Mancini will dominate the league for them if they keep putting that kind of money in, no need for Mourihno.

He should be doing that now. I've never seen the league worse. Poor defensive manager that is losing them the title this year imo.

Unlike Madrid though, City will buy him players when he asks for them.

[Shaggy]

No doubt a valid point. It's also one in the eye for everyone who attempted to mock Benitez for falling out with the hierarchy at Inter, as he did with us. Happens with top managers fairly regularly. It's twice now for Mourinho, Chelsea and now Real. And it'll probably happen again. Understandable too, the interference at Chelsea was a joke (Shevchenko, Ballack) and he's not being given what he wants at Madrid. I understand it, although some would argue having already spent about £200m or whatever it is, they should be able to get by with what they've got by if their no.1 striker gets injured.
