Spanish media have renewed focus on José Mourinho’s Benfica future after the derby win over Sporting. Marca states that he would consider a return to Real Madrid if the option arises.
The Spanish daily says he knows his name still carries weight and that Madrid remains a special place, where he was happy despite not winning their 10th European Cup.
The report adds that he has a contract at Benfica and, barring an unexpected turn, his intention is to respect it.
It also notes that circumstances could change quickly in football, something Mourinho understands as well as anyone.
For now he remains calm, and there have been no calls to gauge his situation or the feasibility of any move once the season is over.
This comes amid claims from various sources that Real Madrid are counting on his return.
