New deal with Benfica? José Mourinho addresses future | OneFootball

Speaking at the press conference previewing the match against Estoril, related to the 34th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, José Mourinho revealed that he recently received an "official proposal" from a foreign club, but was never made aware of one linked to Real Madrid.

"No. My agent met with Sport Lisboa e Benfica and told me, 'I have an official proposal that I will send you'. I said, 'I don’t want it, send it to me on Sunday'. As for Real Madrid, he never told me there was a proposal to show me. But if he had told me, I would have said exactly the same thing," he began by saying.

Despite what was claimed by the Special One, it should be remembered that, according to CMTV, José Mourinho will return as Real Madrid head coach. The official announcement is expected in the next few days, with the presentation said to be scheduled for next week.

The match in Amoreira could therefore mark the final moments of the 'Special One' in Portuguese football before a highly high-profile return to Spain. The coach is preparing to return to one of the most demanding stages in world football. Marco Silva could be the replacement.

The red-and-white side return to the pitch next Saturday, May 16, against Estoril. The match, counting for the 34th and final round of the Portuguese league, against the team coached by Ian Cathro, will be played at the Estádio António Coimbra da Mota at 8:30 pm.
