Jose Callejon - Real Madrid
Real Madrid attacker Jose Callejon is confident that coach Jose Mourinho will stay in the Spanish capital.
The 49-year-old publicly admitted that he is seeking a return to the Premier League in a few years and fears that Mourinho could cut short his stay at the Santiago Bernabeu have grown after some Madrid supporters jeered him last month.
However, Callejon is not considering the possibility of losing the Portuguese coach.
"I believe that Mourinho will not leave at the end of the season, because he is happy here," Callejon told reporters.
"He is eager to work and wants to do things well. I see him calm and determined to win many titles.
"He gives a lot of security and trust, he is clear and direct, and all those things are good for the players."
Callejon went on to admit that Madrid is in pole position to secure the Primera Division title and revealed that los Blancos are also seeking Champions League glory.
"We are playing for the Liga trophy in every match and we cannot fail," he added. "We have La Liga in our hands.
"We want both titles [La Liga and Champions League]. It is no longer possible to win the Copa del Rey, but we are at the best club in the world and we want to win it all."
