Benfica's management has been handed over to Mourinho
In a surprising turn of events, Portuguese coach José Mourinho has been appointed as the head coach of Lisbon's Benfica football club. This marks Mourinho's second tenure with the club, having previously led them from September to December in 2020.
Mourinho's return to Benfica comes after a shake-up in the coaching staff. His immediate predecessor, Bruno Lage, was let go following a loss in the first round of the European Cup. Lage, who was Mourinho's predecessor at Benfica, had taken over from the coach after Mourinho's departure in 2020.
Mourinho's contract with Benfica extends until the summer of 2027, providing stability for the club. Last season, Benfica finished a strong second in the Portuguese championship.
The Portuguese coach has had an illustrious career, managing teams such as Porto, Inter, Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham, Real Madrid, Roma, and previously Benfica, in addition to his latest stint.
Notably, Benfica knocked out Fenerbahçe, led by Mourinho, in the Champions League qualifiers. However, Mourinho's resignation from Benfica was due to the Champions League qualifiers, which ended in a disappointing result.
