The possibility of a change in Benfica’s coaching staff is not, for now, on the table, but the topic is beginning to gain traction outside the club’s structure. Although José Mourinho remains in charge, possible alternatives are already being discussed in case of an unexpected departure.

In that hypothetical scenario, Rui Costa would have to assess the market for available managers. Among the most talked-about names is Ruben Amorim, who is currently without a club after leaving Manchester United midway through the season.

Even though he is available, the Portuguese coach is not prioritizing a return to domestic football in the near future. Even so, that position could change if a concrete offer emerges, especially considering the emotional bond he maintains with Benfica.

The coach made his name mainly during his time at Sporting, where he won several titles and earned widespread recognition. Despite his ties to Benfica’s rival, many Benfica supporters still see him as an interesting option for the club’s future.

For now, however, there has been no official approach, nor is the matter being discussed internally within Benfica’s SAD. Even so, Ruben Amorim’s name continues to loom as a “shadow” on the horizon, fueling debate among the fans, after the draw against Casa Pia (1-1).
