Benfica target Mourinho in bizarre clash with journalists: "You’re going to..." | OneFootball

Since yesterday morning, September 17, the name of José Mourinho has gained a lot of traction to succeed Bruno Lage as the head coach of Benfica. However, neither the Club from Luz nor the coach himself have opened up about possible negotiations, and in response to journalists' persistence, the Special One had a humorous moment.

Back in Portugal, where he revealed that he had already been contacted by the Club from Luz, José Mourinho did not provide any further details since his arrival in the capital. However, amid uncertainties, several journalists, already during the night, gathered at the coach's residence to see if there were any updates.

Upon the arrival of the Special One, in a video shared by the newspaper Record, one of the professionals questioned José Mourinho about a possible official announcement from Benfica, to which the Portuguese responded with a shrug.

Nonetheless, the journalist persisted with questions to get a response from José Mourinho, and he managed to get the Portuguese to reply. However, the Special One's response was certainly not what was expected: "Go to sleep, man!".

The Setubal native was in charge of Benfica for a year, where he won the League Cup and the Super Cup. However, certain approaches and mistakes made eventually sealed his inevitable departure from the technical command of the reds and whites.
