Jose Mourinho has said that he is leaving Real Madrid at the end of the season, according to reports in Spain.

Mourinho has apparently confirmed his imminent departure to Manuel Alvarez, the president of Spanish side Canillas, for whom Mourinho's son plays football.

"Mourinho told us that next year he won't be able to talk to the coaches because he will not be here," Canillas President Manuel Alvarez told Punto Pelota. "If Mourinho is going then it is a great loss for Spanish football. I hope Florentino Perez can fix it."

Jose Mourinho joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2010 and won La Liga last year.
