After Bruno Lage was let go due to a poor start in the Champions League against Qarabag, Benfica’s management acted swiftly to find a replacement, and they have turned to the experienced Mourinho, who has been without a job since leaving Fenerbahçe.

While there is no official contract yet, Almeida indicates that the details are being worked out and an announcement will be made soon.

Mourinho has a brief history with Benfica, having been in charge for a short period at the start of his coaching career during the 2000/2001 season, where he managed 10 matches over four months, achieving 5 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses.

Reminder: Fenerbahçe finds a replacement for Mourinho but he declines the offer.
