Real Madrid have decided not to offer Vicente del Bosque's a new contract as coach just a day after his side clinched their 29th league championship.
"The board of directors made a unanimous decision not to renew Vicente del Bosque's contract as the first team coach of Real Madrid," a club spokesman told a news conference on Monday.
"The board considered that the team needs a change in accordance with recent developments at the club. We would like to express our thanks to Vicente del Bosque for all he has done for the club."
Sporting director Jorge Valdano also announced that club captain Fernando Hierro, whose contract expires at the end of June, would not be offered a new deal.
Del Bosque took charge of Real Madrid after the sacking of John Toshack in November 1999.
In his four seasons in charge he has steered the club to two European Cups, two domestic league titles, a European Super Cup and a World Club Cup.
