Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has conceded defeat in the race for the Primera Division title while distancing himself from the manager’s role at Paris St Germain.

The Portuguese faces an uncertain future at the Bernabeu as Real struggle to close a 15-point gap on league leaders Barcelona, with reports in Spain suggesting Mourinho is also at odds with several club directors and members of his playing staff.

The 49-year-old has been linked with a summer return to England, where he managed Chelsea to two Premier League titles, or a potential move to ambitious French outfit Paris SG.

Mourinho told RMC Sport: “The La Liga title is impossible now, there is too big a gap.

“We have to focus on other goals like the Copa del Rey and the Champions League.

“It does no good to be obsessed over these things, obsession only makes things more complicated. Nothing will be easy. We need to stay calm and make the most of every opportunity.”

PSG have struggled to dominate Ligue 1 this season despite heavy investment in the playing squad.

Mourinho believes the capital club will prove to be a force to be reckoned with, both at home and abroad, but rejected suggestions he could replace Carlo Ancelotti in the summer.

“No, I don’t think I will coach PSG,” he added.

“The success of PSG with Ancelotti and Leonardo means they have no need for another coach. I hope everything goes well for Carlo and PSG.

“Europe needs to have a city like Paris competing at the top level of football, and I think this project is going to work.”
