Pepe: Mourinho’s return is a real asset for Portuguese football | OneFootball

Pepe is present at the first edition of the Portugal Football Globes, a gala taking place this Tuesday at the FPF Arena Portugal, aimed at awarding the best figures in national and international football. The former FC Porto central defender spoke about the adaptation of Francesco Farioli:

«Obviously, he adapted very quickly to what Portuguese football is and is doing a good job».

«FC Porto needs to get back to winning titles, to winning again. There is still a lot of the championship left. There is a coach who has just come to Benfica and I know him well, he certainly won't concede a game easily».

«[Did you expect Mourinho to return to Portugal?] Honestly, no, but that is an added value for Portuguese football, for the League. Having a coach like Mourinho in our championship is always beneficial for the game played. It's good to have a coach like that. Now everyone is entertained at the press conferences», he said immediately afterwards.
