The Blancos winger was sad to see the Portuguese coach depart Estadio Santiago Bernebeu but says that he is committed to playing for Real Madrid regardless.By Henry JacksonJun 7, 2013 1:27:00 PMDi Maria - EcuadorDi Maria - EcuadorAngel Di Maria says he is upset that Jose Mourinho has left Real Madrid following his decision to join Chelsea this week.Di Maria, 25, who played under Mourinho for three seasons at
Santiago Bernabeu, says he wishes him the best in the future and
believes the Portuguese has had a positive influence on his
career.
"It was very sad when I learned he was leaving the club," Di Maria
told Ole. "When a coach like him leaves an institution
like this it's not nice for anyone. He sought his happiness and
future elsewhere, and I hope he does well.
"I'm very grateful to Mourinho."
Although Mourinho's exit has clearly had an effect on the Argentina
international, Di Maria insists he is happy in Madrid and says his
future lies in the hands of the president and the next boss of Los
Blancos.
"The decision as to whether I remain a Madrid player is between the
president [Florentino Perez] and the new coach. They must decide if
I am to play a part next season," Di Maria said. "I am very happy
in Madrid. I live a quiet life with my family and my baby who was
born a month and a half ago.
"I'd love to stay. I'm happy with my teammates and with the way I
am treated here."
