Benfica lost 2-3 in the first round of the European Champions League (UCL) league phase of the 2025-2026 season at Istadieu da Luz in Lisbon, Portugal on the 17th. They led 2-0 but lost helplessly at home, conceding three goals. Karabakh's victory marks the first UCL finals victory in the history of football before Azerbaijan.

Benfica's management chose to part ways with Raj after the game. Benfica won three consecutive games since the opening of the league, but drew 1-1 at home to Santa Clara last weekend and pulled out the sword after the defeat overlapped.




Chairman Hui Costa said "We have reached an agreement with Raj, and as of today, he is not Benfica's coach. I appreciate Raj's commitment, but the moment of change has come."

Raj, who returned after being fired in 2020, suffered the humiliation of being fired twice in Benfica alone. Benfica immediately started to find a replacement manager and quickly selected Mourinho.

Mourinho stepped down as head coach of Turkiye Fenerbahce on the 29th of last month. He took the helm of Fenerbahce in June last year. I got off after 14 months. It is the seventh time in his career that he has been dismissed. Coincidentally, they parted ways after losing 0-1 to Benfica in the UCL playoffs and failing to advance to the finals.
