Ex-Benfica footballer on Mourinho’s mind games: a true master | OneFootball

With a career spanning more than two decades in football, José Mourinho is known for his 'mind games.' Currently at the helm of Benfica, the Special One has already put his skills to use. Vítor Paneira, from João Noronha Lopes' list, considers the Portuguese coach to be the 'master' in this regard. According to the former Eagles player, the man from Setúbal is an excellent communicator.

In an interview with the newspaper A Bola, the candidate for the next technical director—should Noronha Lopes win the second round—has no doubts about the Special One's abilities: "There's no doubt. José Mourinho is clearly the master at getting into everyone's heads."

Next, Vítor Paneira revealed that he has no doubts about José Mourinho's abilities, stating that the coach possesses highly valued qualities: "He communicates with no one and knows how to get the most out of his players. He will create players in his own image."

"Curiously, I've only spoken to him once at a Federation gala. We crossed paths and greeted each other. I have great admiration for him and I think he is one of the best coaches in the world," explained Vítor Paneira about his current relationship with the Special One.
