Mourinho hints at short stay with Real Madrid

Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho has hinted his time in Spain could be short. The Portuguese, who made his name as a top coach by guiding Porto to 2004 Champions League glory before moving to England and enjoying a successful stint as Chelsea boss, leading the Blues to two Premier League titles.

He moved to Madrid in the summer after guiding Inter Milan to an unprecedented treble of Serie A, Coppa Italia and Champions League glory, and believes working in Spain is all the more difficult because of an ever-present need to win.

He told the club's website: "Staying on with a great club for such a long time is hard in the culture in which we live.

"It is much easier in England. There you find people who stay on for years having not won a thing.

"It is hard here because the need to win is always present. If I stay for four years it means I have done things right and that we are all happy, and I would be thrilled to continue."
