João Malheiro backs Mourinho as Benfica criticism mounts | OneFootball

João Malheiro has no doubt that José Mourinho is the right person to lead Benfica to triumphs. In this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, and after revealing the Eagles' market strategy, the commentator and fan of the Clube da Luz believes that the January transfer market will be essential for the coach to adjust the squad to his liking.

“I have enormous confidence in José Mourinho. He is one of the best coaches in the world. He is by far the best Portuguese coach in a history that is already a century old. I have full confidence in him. Benfica is in very good hands,” João Malheiro began by stating, in statements to Glorioso 1904.

However, João Malheiro believes that the winter transfer window will be important for the coach: “José Mourinho takes on a team that did not have his imprint. I believe he will be able to do so now with the reopening of the January transfer market. Benfica needs reinforcements and I am sure they will succeed. And I speak in plural.”

“Since José Mourinho took over the technical leadership of Benfica, he has never had what I call a clean week. He plays every three days. And when there are no games, there are national teams. And Benfica has almost 20 players in its squad in the national teams. It is very difficult to work in this context, but even so, I am optimistic, precisely because I believe a lot in José Mourinho,” João Malheiro concludes.
