José Mourinho 'to be on the bench' for Benfica v Vitória de Guimarães | OneFootball

José Mourinho is cleared to be on the Benfica bench against Vitória de Guimarães after TAD accepted an interim injunction, pausing his 11-day suspension until a further decision ahead of the 27th round.

Record reports that Benfica filed the motion on Wednesday, 18 March, seeking to overturn the ban imposed following his dismissal in the Clássico against Porto.

Unlike in Arouca, where he followed the game from the team bus, Mourinho is set to be pitchside at Estádio da Luz.

A minute's silence will be held for Silvino Louro, the former Benfica goalkeeper, who has died aged 67.

The decision noted that without the injunction he would miss the match scheduled for tomorrow, creating a fait accompli, and that the ban could fully elapse before the main case is resolved, amounting to serious, hard-to-remedy harm and meeting the periculum in mora test.
