Famous Portuguese coach José Mourinho spoke about his decision to lead Lisbon’s Benfica, which had recently announced the departure of Bruno Lage.
— Benfica officially asked me if I was interested in leading the team, and I replied that I was abroad and would like to talk to Benfica representatives after my return. When I was offered to lead Benfica, I didn’t hesitate for a second — because I was interested in it, — Mourinho told ESPN.
Let’s recall that the last club José Mourinho worked with was Fenerbahçe, which the Portuguese left at the end of August.
