José Mourinho frustrated? What's bothering Benfica's boss | OneFootball

In recent weeks, the future of José Mourinho has been widely discussed. Among the various rumours that have been circulating, the name of the Benfica manager has been linked with clubs competing in the top leagues in Spain, England and Italy. However, there is another situation that is making the Special One uncomfortable and even frustrated.

According to Record newspaper, the Benfica manager is annoyed by Rui Costa’s silence, as in recent weeks he has not given a clear guarantee that he is counting on José Mourinho for next season. The Eagles’ president has avoided speaking about the matter, stating that it is not a scenario that needs to be addressed.

According to the sports daily, there are some certainties for José Mourinho at this point: he has a contract with the club until 2027 and remains committed to the goal of becoming national champion with Benfica. Although a renewal is a taboo subject, Rui Costa has stressed on several occasions that the Special One’s continuity is not in question.

However, despite Benfica having triumphed in the derby against Sporting, the situation has not led Rui Costa to rush into renewing the Portuguese coach’s contract.
