Mourinho has faced some criticism this season with his Madrid side already 11 points behind arch-rivals Barcelona in La Liga, having already lost three league games.
And the former Chelsea boss was booed by sections of the Bernabeu crowd during Tuesday night's Copa del Rey 3-0 win over second tier club Alcoyano.

Despite the problems, Casillas, 31, believes the fans need to get behind Mourinho as he is the man to turn their fortunes around.
"It (the fans' booing) may be unfair on Mourinho. He took on a new team with young players. Much of the success has been down to him, we have had some very good seasons recently,'' he said.
"He is the best coach in the world and has shown this. Our trust in him is absolute. Mourinho is a coach who has given us much. Barcelona were playing well and went on to win titles and over those seasons defeated us. Last season the clear favourite was Barcelona."
Madrid face high-flying local rivals Atletico Madrid on Saturday and Casillas knows it is a must-win match if they want to have any chance of making some ground on Barcelona.
"We hope to continue to regain ground in the league," Casillas added. "We thought we might be closer going into the derby if we had won in Seville, but it cannot be and we will try to now make it a five-point gap with the derby.
"Right now, both teams are ahead of us. In recent years we have been fortunate to have gone unbeaten against Atletico, but that does not mean anything when we are looking for nothing but a win. The draw is worth nothing to us.''
