According to British newspaper Mourinho would leave Real Madrid at the end of the season to return to the Premier League, although not immediately clear what would the Luso club.
The Portuguese would have determined his march irrevocably tired of the division caused by the figure in the Real Madrid.
A close friend said Mou will return to England at the end of the season, a decision would not change even winning a title.
It’s not a question of the team decided to dispense with his services, if the season ends with no title, which seems unlikely given their good performance in the league, but rather a unilateral decision of the Technical own, tired of leaks to the media players, division in a part of the leadership and division of opinions about her figure.

The Gunners trailed by two goals at the break thanks to efforts from Richard Dunne and Darren Bent, but replied with three goals in a 10-minute spell with Walcott getting his name on the scoresheet, alongside Robin van Persie, who struck twice from the penalty spot.
“I enjoyed the second half especially because the team worked so hard,” Walcott told ESPN.
“It was absolutely fantastic. This cup is massive and it means a lot to us.
“We want to win the trophy and we need to show the fan’s that we’re ready. It just shows what great character we have in the dressing room.”

“We’ve got to always believe that we can come back,” Walcott added.
“After a very dodgy first half, we just went at them.
“We needed a bit of luck, and hopefully our luck’s changed after that.”

The 21-year-old has caught the eye of most of Europe’s elite, Arsenal, Barcelona, Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham all keen, along with Paris Saint-Germain and several Serie A sides.
Reports in recent days had suggested Chelsea were considering a late January bid for the Belgium international before the winter transfer window closes in a few days time.
But a summer move looks much more likely, and Lille general director Frederic Paquet has admitted he is likely to lose one of his best players at the end of the season.
Paquet told
Orange Sport: “Eden will leave at the end of the season, that is almost a certainty.”
Both Hazard and his agent had previously ruled out a move to Paris Saint-Germain, but speaking last Friday, the playmaker hinted at a move to the Parc des Princes now that Carlo Ancelotti is in charge.
“The interest from Paris is tempting. Paris Saint-Germain are a great club,” he told
Le Parisien.
“And especially with a coach like [Carlo] Ancelotti, that makes you even more keen. Only God know where I will be playing my football in 2012 though.”
Chelsea, Man Utd and Liverpool have all sent scouts to watch him in action for Lille in recent weeks.
