Cristiano Ronaldo insists head coach Jose Mourinho will not be returning to England next season because he is happily settled at Real Madrid.
The Portugal international claims his compatriot has no plans to leave the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the current Primera Liga season, despite recent reports linking him with his former club Chelsea as well as Tottenham.
Mourinho celebrated his 100th game at the helm of Real at the weekend, but his team had to come from behind to secure a 21st victory out of 22 games in a thrilling 3-2 win over Real Betis with Ronaldo scoring twice.
And the former Manchester United star believes no player or manager is bigger than the capital giants, who are 10 points ahead of closest rivals Barcelona with 12 games remaining.
"Mourinho will stay with Real Madrid next season," Ronaldo told reporters ahead of Wednesday night's UEFA Champions League clash with CSKA Moscow.
"But it is the club that is the most important thing and not Mourinho, or me."
Ronaldo, who has scored 32 league goals so far this season for Los Blancos, is on course for his first Spanish title, however, the 27-year-old admits he is still learning the game.
He said: "The club is always growing season after season. At Real Madrid I have continually improved in order to compete with my team-mates.
"It is important for me to be always learning and I want to continue to do my best, which is why I am very happy."
