Mourinho ready to depart having failed to meet expectations.

Jose Mourinho looks likely to leave Real Madrid this summer after three years. Cronan Yu believes that he departs having failed to meet expectations.

Jose Mourinho arrived at Real Madrid with two objectives - to end Barcelona’s domestic dominance and to win Los Blancos’ 10^th European Cup, La Decima. But who would’ve thought that nearly three years on, the Portuguese would be moving towards Santiago Bernabeu’s exit door without having left his mark?

Hailed by many as one of greatest Coaches ever to have graced the bench, he reign at Madrid has been, comparatively speaking, dismal to say the least. The club, wounded by consecutive Clasico defeats and unsuccessful League and Champions League bids sought in 2010 after a Coach with a CV that could match the prestige of the club itself. And who better that Mourinho at the time?

The fact that he had won the Champions League at the Bernabeu in the season before taking over Los Merengues somewhat reassured President Florentino Perez that their bid to win a 10^th European Crown would be a job made possible. However, he has proven not to be the go–to man.
