Big news in Portuguese football - the famous coach Jose Mourinho is on the verge of returning to his homeland again. According to information shared by insider Fabrizio Romano on his X social media account, Lisbon's Benfica is finalizing the process of appointing an experienced specialist as head coach.
According to the source, the 62-year-old Mourinho is scheduled to sign a contract until 2027. All formalities are expected to be completed within the next 24 hours. This news caused a surge of excitement and anticipation among Benfica fans.
It's worth noting that Jose Mourinho began his coaching career at Benfica. Later, he worked for the most prestigious clubs in world football - "Real Madrid," "Chelsea," "Inter," "Tottenham," "Roma," "Portu" and "Manchester United," leaving a great mark with his unique style and victories. His last place of work was the Turkish club "Fenerbahçe."
Benfica's management made the decision to bring Mourinho to the team after an unexpected 2-3 defeat to Qarabağ in the first round of the Champions League. Following this result, head coach Bruno Laje was immediately dismissed.
Jose Mourinho had previously stated in an interview with journalists that he was interested in managing Benfica and would not reject such an offer. Now, he is almost certain that he will return to the field as the Eagles' new leader.
Undoubtedly, his return could be a new historical milestone not only for the club but for all of Portuguese football.
