Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European transfer market, said on the 18th (Korean time) that "Mourinho is heading to Benfica." We have entered into an oral agreement by June 2027. Mourinho has accepted Benfica's offer, and the formal process will take place within 24 hours. 'Special One' Mourinho signs a two-year contract as Benfica manager"HERE WE GO, which only talks about when the contract is signed, is attached.
A day earlier, Benfica abruptly replaced Bruno Raj. Although Benfica did not have any major problems at the beginning of the season, it was a shocking upset loss to Karabakh, an Azerbaijani club in the European Champions League (UCL). In the aftermath of finishing second by two points in the league last season, he replaced manager Raj as soon as he was shocked.
Later, Benfica Chairman Hui Costa contacted Mourinho. Reporter Romano said on the 17th that Benfica is in in-depth negotiations with Mourinho after Raj was fired overnight. Mourinho has allowed a move to Benfica because he wants to return to the manager's post immediately. This agreement could be reached shortly."
Negotiations proceeded quickly in one day, and Special One was confirmed to return to the Portuguese stage. It is the first time that Mourinho, a Portuguese native, will return to his country's league since his time in FC Porto. After rising to the top of the European Champions League (UCL) in Porto, he has continued his brilliant career through Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Tottenham.
However, his recent moves are regrettable compared to his reputation. He was nothing when he was at Tottenham, and won the Europa Conference League at AS Roma, but showed limitations in league performance. In Fenerbahce, it received a harsher evaluation. Despite receiving a lot of support, he failed to lead Fenerbahce to the championship.
Interestingly, Mourinho was immediately replaced by Fenerbahce this season after losing to Benfica in the final UCL qualifying round. Mourinho is in charge of the team that dismissed him three weeks ago.
This trip to Benfica is like the last chance for Mourinho. This is because Benfica, a prestigious Portuguese tradition, is a team that is always required to win at home and abroad. It is the strongest team in the Portuguese league. If he succeeds in rebounding here, Mourinho could prove his leadership once again. On the contrary, if Benfica also fails, the title 'master' is likely to fall at a faster pace.
Mourinho had worked for Benfica before leading Porto, but at the time, he finished his companion early due to discord with the club's president.
Mourinho, the world's greatest master, is also very popular with Korean fans. It is all the more so because it is Son Heung-min's teacher. He is also a coach who praised Son Heung-min as a world class and gave an emotional interview when Son Heung-min won the Europa League (UEL).
