Mourinho’s salary at Benfica? Club chief says it’s quite a bargain | OneFootball

Since José Mourinho was introduced at Benfica, one of the topics that has generated the most discussion is the salary that the Portuguese coach earns at Luz. To clear up any doubts on the topic, Nuno Catarino, CFO of the Eagles, clarified everything regarding the amount paid to the Special One.

In an exclusive interview with the newspaper Record, the person responsible for the financial side of the Reds outlined the current salary of the Portuguese coach: "It is much less than he received at all his previous clubs. It is appropriate for the Portuguese context. He is not the most expensive coach we have ever had".

"If there is a coach who justifies a higher salary, it is José Mourinho. There are several things that are intangible. We have never had so many journalists interested, there are image assets of José Mourinho himself that we can monetize," added the Benfica CFO, regarding José Mourinho's value.

However, despite the investment made in hiring the Portuguese coach, Nuno Catarino assured about it: "I think he will end up being much cheaper than many others in the equation. We need to have the talent to work with the value he brings to Benfica. And that is our day-to-day job."
