Pedro Sousa highlights Mourinho timeline as Rui Costa flags Benfica reset

Pedro Sousa says the decisive period for Mourinho’s immediate future at Benfica will fall between 17 and 27 May, with his cost rising from three million to eight million on 28 May.

According to Glorioso 1904, Sousa was responding to Rui Costa’s remarks after the draw with Casa Pia, which he felt shook the club and put every role under scrutiny.

Sousa added that Mourinho will clarify his recent comments after the match in Rio Maior.
