Spectacular! José Mourinho reaches milestone with Benfica | OneFootball

José Mourinho's return to Portuguese football has added another successful chapter. After a historic spell at Porto, the Special One has reached a milestone, this time as coach of Benfica, and it all happened in the victory over Vitória de Guimarães (3-0).

With the result achieved at Estádio da Luz, against the team from Minho, José Mourinho reached his 50th home victory as a Primeira Liga manager. In other words, in Portugal, the Special One has not lost at home for at least fifty games, between Porto and Benfica.

To find José Mourinho's last defeat as a host, you have to go back to the distant year of 2002, when the Portuguese coach, then in charge of Porto, was surprised by Beira-Mar, with the visiting team beating the Dragons 3-2.

Since then, from February 2002 to the present day—a span of almost 25 years—José Mourinho has not lost another home match. On the other hand, it is also worth highlighting that, besides the Special One, the match against Vitória de Guimarães was also special for Richard Ríos, Benfica’s midfielder.

As the championship enters its final stretch, Benfica sits in third place with 62 points, the same as Sporting, who are in second but have a game in hand. Eagles and Lions are chasing the leader, Porto. The next match for the Club of Luz is scheduled for April 5, with a visit to Casa Pia.
