Glorioso 1904 exclusive: Malheiro sees Mourinho in Benfica's future | OneFootball

João Malheiro believes that José Mourinho should be part of Benfica’s future. In this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, our newspaper spoke with the well-known supporter, who not only highlighted the importance of the Special One, but also shared his thoughts on the match against Vitória SC and the renewal of António Silva.

"I believe that José Mourinho should not only fulfill the year left on his contract, which is the upcoming one, but that his current deal should also be extended for another two seasons. More directly, I would like to see José Mourinho in charge of Benfica for the next three years," João Malheiro emphasized.

"Benfica needs stability, planning, competence, authority, and good communication. And these five reasons fit perfectly with José Mourinho’s personality. Therefore, I am one of those who advocates not only for Mourinho’s retention, but also for the extension of his contract with Benfica," he underlined, thus signing off on his support for the Reds’ coach.

However, aside from his praise for the Special One, the former communications director was not impressed with the recent victory over Vitória SC: "The performance wasn’t that great [...] there were some interesting periods and others not so interesting. But it begs the question: If Benfica won 3-0, if they had put on, let’s say, a top-level performance, by how much would they have won? By 5, 6, 7?"

Looking to the future, clearly with José Mourinho included, João Malheiro left the following note: "Benfica will, imperatively, have to secure a group of players next year that allows them to achieve the main goal, which is to become national champions, without neglecting, of course, the other domestic competitions and also a significant European campaign, whatever the competition they will play in."
