Vítor Pinto snaps over Mourinho situation at Benfica: enough now | OneFootball

The possibility of José Mourinho returning to Benfica if Florentino Pérez does not win the Real Madrid elections continues to fuel the debate surrounding the future of the club from Luz. Among the most critical voices is Vítor Pinto, who believes there is no room to prolong the current deadlock, especially at a time when Marco Silva already has everything agreed to take charge of the Eagles.

The commentator argued that the relationship between Benfica and Mourinho has reached a point of no return and was completely against a possible return of the coach to work in Seixal if Enrique Riquelme ends up winning the elections in Madrid.

“When Mourinho puts on the Real Madrid shirt, I think the last link of tolerance that could still exist between the parties was broken. Benfica already have a coach, Marco Silva, and have already tolerated everything there was to tolerate. Enough is enough. Considering that Marco Silva will be Benfica’s coach next season, it would make no sense whatsoever for Mourinho to show up in Seixal now if Enrique Riquelme wins the elections. The time has come for Benfica to be proactive,” he said.

The Real Madrid elections are being followed with enormous attention in Portugal, since the result could have direct consequences for Benfica’s immediate future. Florentino Pérez and Enrique Riquelme are contesting the leadership of the Spanish club this Sunday, with the current president publicly naming José Mourinho as his choice to lead Los Blancos next season.
