Jonas on how Mourinho can help Benfica: What we’re all hoping for | OneFootball

José Mourinho is the new coach of Benfica, replacing Bruno Lage. Jonas, Mozer, and Roger, well-known figures at Luz, believe that the Eagles can get back on the path to victory, since the Portuguese coach has an impressive track record and proven results.

"He is a winning, experienced coach who can turn things around with a strong and dominant Benfica over its opponents. That’s what all of us Benfica fans are hoping for," assured the former striker to the newspaper Record, guaranteeing that the Special One is "a great signing."

Mozer was an assistant to the coach during his first spell at Luz and hopes for success in this new adventure: "Mourinho’s competence is recognized worldwide by everyone. I hope he achieves the dream he had 25 years ago of making the Glorious one a winner in domestic competitions and competitive in European competitions as he has been throughout his career. May he be very happy at Benfica! I believe this can happen again as it did at the beginning of his career."

Roger, a former midfielder for the Eagles, points out that "Bruno Lage was under a lot of pressure since last year" and that the Special One was a well-seized opportunity for the Eagles: "I think it was a combination of factors that led Benfica to reach an agreement with Mourinho: the fact that he was available, the disappointment with the defeat in the Champions League debut against Qarabag at home, the issue of it being a political year and Rui Costa being pressured by fans and members to dismiss Bruno Lage."

"Mourinho is almost a national consensus, a return to the club after 25 years. That brings political and sporting strength, and I think those factors were decisive for his arrival. Besides that, he’s a great coach! His return generates great expectations. The club will have to change a lot to try to reclaim the national championship title, since it’s been two consecutive years with Sporting celebrating. The fans are anxious and demanding a lot," he concluded.
