José Mourinho will replace Bruno Lage as the coach of Benfica.
The Portuguese club officially announced the hiring this Thursday (18th), moments before the coach's presentation.
Mourinho signed a two-year contract, until the end of the 2026/27 season.
The coach's last job was leading Fenerbahce, from Turkey.
He was dismissed at the end of August after being eliminated in the initial stages of the Champions League precisely against Benfica.
This will be Mourinho's first job in Portugal since his successful stint with Porto, which ended at the end of the 2003/04 season with a Champions League title.
Before that, 25 years ago, the Portuguese coach had a short stint at Benfica.
