Benfica initiates talks with Jose Mourinho following Bruno Laji's resignation.
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the footballing world, Lisbon's football club Benfica has initiated negotiations with José Mourinho for the position of head coach. The negotiations, which are ongoing, are expected to be concluded in the near future, with reports suggesting the finalization could happen within days around mid to late September 2025.
José Mourinho, a football manager with an illustrious career, began his coaching journey at Benfica in 2000. Since then, he has won titles in England, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, as well as the UEFA Champions League (UCL) twice, and trophies in the Europa League and Conference League. His extensive experience working with top European clubs makes him a highly sought-after figure in the world of football.
The decision to negotiate with Mourinho follows the departure of Bruno Lage after an unexpected defeat to Qarabag (2:3) in the UCL group stage. The return of Mourinho is seen as a strategic move to stabilize the team's play and compete for titles.
Benfica has informed the Securities Market Commission of Portugal about the ongoing negotiations with Mourinho. The negotiations are regarding the position of head coach, a role that Mourinho is well-suited for, given his impressive track record.
Meanwhile, in the world of football rankings, Spain currently holds the top spot, while Russia has moved up to the 33rd position. Elsewhere, Opta has predicted a victory for Manchester City over Napoli.
Away from the field, Jamie Carragher, a former Liverpool defender, has named England's greatest striker. However, the footballing world eagerly awaits the news of Mourinho's return to Benfica, a move that could reshape the landscape of Portuguese football.
