Football legend José Mourinho is set to become the new head coach of Benfica. He has reportedly agreed to a verbal contract that will keep him at the club until June 2027. An official announcement is expected within the next 24 hours. Currently in Portugal, Mourinho will return to the club where he began his coaching career with a two-year deal.
This move follows the decision to part ways with Bruno Lage after a surprising Champions League loss to Qarabag. Mourinho’s arrival signals Benfica’s aim to reclaim domestic and European dominance.
Despite questions about his recent performances at Fenerbahce, Roma, and Tottenham, Benfica seems confident in Mourinho’s capabilities.
