Sami Khedira is sorry Jose Mourinho is leaving Real Madrid.
Khedira was signed by Mourinho three years ago.
He said: "Our coach is leaving us and we all respect his decision.
"I am personally very grateful to him and want to thank him for the chance he gave me and all the support he gave too. He always had my back and I want to thank him for all the time I was able to develop and mature with Madrid."
And former Madrid Galactico Luis Figo said: "The fans should be fair and I hope he will get a good send-off."
