Mourinho likely to stay at Real

Madrid - Jose Mourinho says he will likely continue coaching Real Madrid beyond this season with the Spanish leaders playing for a spot in the Champions League final.

Mourinho is under contract until 2014 and has repeatedly refused to confirm whether he will see out the full four years of his deal as reports link him with a return to Chelsea or fellow English club Manchester City.

Ahead of Wednesday's semi-final against Bayern Munich, the Portuguese coach said "I think I will continue, there's no reason for me to leave."

Mourinho says he will speak with the players and club officials at the end of the season to determine whether it's in everyone's interests for him to stay.

Madrid trail Bayern 2-1 going into the return leg.
