Reports that Jose Mourinho has backtracked on extending his contract with Benfica and is preparing to part ways with the club are causing a stir in the football world. Following the 2:2 draw against Braga, the Portuguese manager refused to make any concrete promises regarding his future, according to reports Goal.com.
In March, Mourinho had indicated his readiness to extend his contract with Benfica for two years. However, in the current situation, he appears to have changed his mind. According to the manager, he does not want to think about contract matters during the decisive stage of the season and is focusing all his attention on the team's final objectives.
According to media reports, the Real Madrid board is looking for a new head coach to replace Alvaro Arbeloa. The team ending the season without silverware and Barcelona defending their title have further fueled rumors of Mourinho's return to Madrid.
Mourinho spoke warmly about his players, emphasizing that he enjoyed working with them. Nevertheless, he stated that he would announce his decision regarding his future only after the season concludes, following the match against Estoril.
