Mourinho extends contract with real madrid till 2016

José Mourinho has signed a contract extension to keep him and his staff at Real Madrid until 2016. Mourinho's previous deal expired at the end of 2014 and the new contract reinforces his position at the club after a season of success and speculation.

Strategic leaks from Mourinho's camp had suggested that he wanted to leave Spain and return to the Premier League early in the new year and there had been discussions with Chelsea but the Portuguese has chosen to stay in Spain. The club's website announced the renewal in a single phrase, under the headline: "Best coach in the world extends contract with Real Madrid to 2016".

Few details have emerged of the new deal. Mourinho was already the world's best-paid coach. He was brought to Real Madrid to seek to end Barcelona's stranglehold on domestic and European football. He finished his first season with a Copa del Rey success while Barcelona won a league and Champions League double; his second season ends with Madrid reclaiming the league title after a gap of four years and second semi-final exit in Europe. Cristiano Ronaldo insisted on Tuesday that there was a "change of cycle" in Spain.
