The Real Madrid head coach, Jose Mourinho, has conceded defeat in the race for the Spanish title while distancing himself from becoming manager of Paris St-Germain.
The Portuguese faces an uncertain future as Real struggle to close a 15-point gap on the league leaders Barcelona. Reports in Spain suggest Mourinho is also at odds with several club directors and players.
Mourinho said: "The league 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."
Asked if he could join Paris, he added: "No, I don't think I will coach PSG. The success of PSG with [coach Carlo] Ancelotti and [director] Leonardo means they have no need for another coach."
