Mourinho arrives at Benfica, already shaking things up | OneFootball

José Mourinho was officially announced as Benfica's coach last Thursday, but the truth is that the coach has already implemented several changes in the day-to-day activities of the Eagles. The coach intends to change some of the team's routines and, together with the management, has set this process in motion.

The first major change involves altering the pre-match press conference for Benfica's games. Contrary to what was customary, the conversation with journalists is now scheduled for 3:00 PM. Another change is that José Mourinho has allowed 15 minutes open to the media.

At least for now, these were some of the changes implemented by José Mourinho. However, it is likely that, gradually, the Benfica coach will introduce new changes to the athletes' routines. What hasn't changed is the fact that, for home games, no training camp is held.

In the preview of the match against Rio Ave, José Mourinho revealed the biggest challenge he faced upon arriving at Benfica: "The time that doesn't exist. Today and yesterday I freed myself a bit more, but it's not just the fieldwork with the players, it's people getting to know me, things to change. Not overloading with information is important.”

After the victory on AFS's ground, José Mourinho's team occupies the second place in the National Championship, with 13 points in five matches (four wins and one draw).
