Mourinho Interested in Benfica Role
Jose Mourinho is eager to reconnect with Benfica following recent developments.
Benfica’s Coaching Change
Having been dismissed from Fenerbahce last week, Mourinho is now considered a leading candidate to succeed Bruno Lage, who was let go after Benfica’s defeat to Qarabag in the Champions League.
Situation at Benfica
- Lage’s Exit: Bruno Lage was removed from his position after the team’s failure in the Champions League.
- Presidential Intentions: Benfica’s president, Rui Costa, is looking to finalize a new coach by this weekend.
It has been reported that Mourinho is enthusiastic about the possibility and is open to accepting the role. Notably, he began his coaching journey at Benfica 25 years ago, although his tenure there was brief, totaling just 10 matches before he evolved into one of football’s most acclaimed managers.
