The businessman Jorge Mendes, who represents José Mourinho, traveled to Seixal to attend the already held presentation of the Special One as the new head coach of Benfica. Shortly before the super agent, Hugo Valdir, also from Gestifute, had already arrived at the venue.

Jorge Mendes played an important role in José Mourinho’s return to Benfica, considering that the businessman and the coach have been collaborating for several years, and worked together to make this new chapter in the Special One’s career possible.

The presentation ceremony of José Mourinho took place on the afternoon of Thursday, September 18th, at the Benfica Training and Development Center. The entire structure of Benfica’s professional football was present at the ceremony, including Rui Costa, Mário Branco, and Simão Sabrosa.

José Mourinho signed a contract with Benfica valid until the end of the 2026/2027 season. Ready to start working, the coach will lead his first training session with the Reds’ squad this afternoon, in order to begin preparing the Eagles’ trip to face AVS SAD next Saturday, for the National Championship.

During his presentation, José Mourinho expressed his happiness at being back at the Club where he began his career as a head coach: “It’s been 25 years in which I’ve had the opportunity to work at the biggest clubs in the world. I want to say, as a representative of Benfica fans, that none of the clubs I’ve had the opportunity to coach made me feel more motivated than being the coach of Benfica. The promise is clear, I will live for Benfica, for my mission.”
