Mourinho's potential successor addresses Benfica rumours: They... | OneFootball

In recent weeks, in light of the poor sporting results, José Mourinho’s future has been called into question. With a possible scenario of leaving Benfica at the end of the season, some names have already started being linked with the club, such as Ruben Amorim and César Peixoto. The Gil Vicente coach was asked about the matter and made everything crystal clear.

“I’m not going to go there,” began the Gil Vicente manager, when asked about the rumours placing his name on the supposed list of successors for the position currently held by José Mourinho. It should be remembered that César Peixoto was a Benfica player, where he worked with Jorge Jesus.

“I have great respect for Benfica, Benfica’s coach and my club, Gil Vicente,” clarified César Peixoto, stressing that it is not a topic that deserves his attention right now, adding that he feels good and fulfilled at the helm of Gil Vicente, one of the standout sides in the Liga Portugal Betclic.

“So, I’m only focused on Tondela. These are things that make no sense,” concluded the Gil Vicente coach, putting an end to the issue raised by the journalists. Peixoto then continued with the preview of the match against the Beira side, a game that closes the 29th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic.
