Cristóvão C. wishes Mourinho well, sends message to Benfica's next boss | OneFootball

Cristóvão Carvalho took to social media to react to José Mourinho’s imminent departure from Benfica, at a time when the Portuguese coach is very close to returning to Real Madrid. The former candidate for the Eagles’ presidency highlighted the work carried out by the Special One and wished him success for the future.

In a post shared on Instagram, Cristóvão Carvalho posted an image related to Benfica’s 4-2 win over Real Madrid on the final matchday of the Champions League league phase, taking the opportunity to say goodbye to the coach.

"All signs seem to indicate that it is now definitive that José Mourinho is leaving Benfica and, as the great Benfica supporters that we are, we can and should wish him the greatest happiness and the greatest success, except in any game he may play against Benfica", he wrote.

Despite the positive words directed at the manager, it is worth recalling that Cristóvão Carvalho was never in favor of Mourinho’s appointment during Benfica’s election campaign, preferring at the time a renowned foreign coach to lead the Eagles’ sporting project.

In closing, the lawyer left a message aimed at the next coach of the Club of Light, calling for the fans’ support at an important stage for the future: "Whoever the new coach of our Benfica may be, we have the Benfica duty to give him our full support and hope that he brings us victories and titles. May Benfica give him the conditions he needs, and may all of us Benfica supporters give him our greatest strength, and then we will see what the new coach is capable of!",

. After saying goodbye to Fulham, the coach has reportedly already agreed on the main details of his contract with Benfica. The agreement reached provides for a long-term project and represents an opportunity that Marco Silva has long wanted to embrace in his career.
