MADRID (AP) -Jose Mourinho agreed to extend his contract with Real Madrid for two years on Tuesday, tying him to the club until the end of the 2015-16 season.
The 49-year-old Portuguese coach led Madrid to its first Spanish league title in four years this season to add to the Copa del Rey trophy he won during his first campaign at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Under Mourinho's guidance, Madrid set both the league scoring record with 121 goals and the points record with 100 en route to its 32nd championship title this season.
"Continuing my career under Mourinho is great because he helps me to keep getting better," said Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who broke a club record by scoring 46 league goals this season. "It's amazing to work with him because right now he is the No. 1."
Before taking over Real Madrid, Mourinho coached Inter Milan, Chelsea and Porto.
