Real Madrid director Emilio Butragueno has no doubt that coach Jose Mourinho will still be at the club next season.
It was reported in January that the former Chelsea boss had already decided to leave the Spanish capital in the summer and, in recent days, he has been heavily linked with taking over at Tottenham for Harry Redknapp, who is widely expected to take charge of England.
However, Butragueno insists that Mourinho, who arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu in 2010, is going nowhere.
"He has two years left on his contract and is happy at the club," the former Spain international is quoted as saying by Marca. "I have not talked to him, but I know that he is.
"The debate may be [going on] in the English press, but not at the club. In fact, next season is designed for him."
Mourinho led Madrid to the Copa del Rey title last season and his troops are currently 10 points clear of rival Barcelona at the top of La Liga.
