1. He has not had the players' full backing
Some players have backed Mourinho to the hilt, but others (Casillas and Ramos) have stood up to him and told him things to his face.

2. He does not think that the club has agreed to his demands
Although Mourinho has had more power than any other coach in Real Madrid's history, it isn't enough for him.

3. Irreconcilable differences with the press
Mou dislikes being criticised, and he believes that Spain has not shown him the respect he deserves, even before his arrival.

4. He cannot forget being whistled against twice at the Bernabéu
Used to being idolised by all the fans at every club he has coached, Mourinho has never felt fully supported by the Bernabéu faithful.

5. He feels disrespected and mistreated in Spain
He said in his home country that "it's tough being Portuguese in Spain". He thinks that nobody has shown him the respect that his achievements deserve.

6. His family do not feel settled in our country
His son has had the odd unpleasant experience playing for Canillas.

7. A previous bad experience staying beyond the end of the season
He finished his third season at Chelsea and wanted to leave, but he stayed and then terminated his contract in September.

8. A club where "the walls have eyes and ears"
Mourinho has been obsessed with leaks throughout his three years at Real.

9. A similar fatigue to that of Pep Guardiola
Mourinho has suffered unbearable fatigue due to competitive stress and numerous demands.

10. He misses England and the Premier League
Mou started to miss the Premier League the day after he left Chelsea. Football in England is a religion, he is idolised by his own and respected by the opposition.
