Glorioso 1904 Exclusive – Jorge Mendes suggests José Mourinho’s successor, but Benfica have other plans in mind

Jorge Mendes is trying to convince Benfica to hire Filipe Luís, as Glorioso 1904 has learned. In this exclusive, our newspaper reports that the super-agent wants the Eagles to move for the Brazilian coach; however, Rui Costa has other plans for the role.

Glorioso 1904 has learned from sources close to the process that the agent, who also represents José Mourinho, believes the former Flamengo coach would be the ideal choice for Benfica, who are on the verge of losing the Special One. However, as our newspaper had already mentioned on other occasions, the Eagles’ hierarchy views the arrival of Marco Silva favourably.

However, as Glorioso 1904 has learned exclusively, Benfica’s SAD, despite Jorge Mendes’ insistence, is considering ruling out Filipe Luís as an option in favour of the Portuguese coach, whose contract with Fulham is coming to an end. However, it should be noted that Marco Silva is also represented by Jorge Mendes and has an offer on the table to renew with the English side.

Therefore, the choice of Benfica’s new coach is set to be a long and complicated process, with Rui Costa weighing up the various options and Jorge Mendes continuing to push Filipe Luís’ name. However, as our newspaper has pointed out, Ruben Amorim is also an option on the table, but the former Sporting man reportedly has other plans.

For now, the club from Luz still has a coach in José Mourinho, since his departure has not yet been made official. However, according to the national press, the process is expected to drag on throughout this week, as the Special One is waiting on Real Madrid and, for that very reason, has not yet informed Rui Costa of his decision.
