Trubin addresses Benfica rumours: what happens next isn't in my hands | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin tried to distance himself from the rumours linking José Mourinho with Real Madrid. Enjoying a holiday period before joining the Ukrainian national team camp, the Benfica goalkeeper stressed that the matter is not up to him, though he made a point of praising the Special One and reinforced his wish to continue working with the coach.

"Honestly, I don’t know what to say. I know he is a top coach and, of course, some of the best clubs may try to have him as their manager," Trubin began by saying, in comments to Al Arabiya, where he also made a point of offering some praise for the Special One, with whom he worked this season at Benfica.

"As they say, it’s none of my business. I’m very happy and very pleased to have the opportunity to work with him, because he is one of the best coaches in history, he has won everything. So, he has given me a lot of new experience," added the Ukrainian international while commenting on the rumours surrounding José Mourinho.

"And what will happen in the future is not in my hands, so I hope he stays with us at Benfica for next season and that we can continue our journey together," Trubin said in an interview with the Arab outlet, where he reiterated his desire to keep working with the 63-year-old coach.

"I don’t know. We’ll see, we’ll see," the goalkeeper replied when asked whether he would go to Madrid at the Special One’s request. It should be remembered that José Mourinho’s future remains up in the air. The coach has still not informed Rui Costa of his departure, as he does not yet have the green light to move forward due to the Real Madrid elections, which will take place in the coming days.
