José Mourinho has already led Benfica training... No good news | OneFootball

José Mourinho has already conducted his first training session at Benfica, shortly after being officially announced as the new coach of the Eagles. The Portuguese coach started his first day of work at the new club with his eyes already set on the next game against AVS SAD.

According to the Eagles, through their official channels, José Mourinho's training session was "marked by intensity, ambition, and focus". The new coach is already working to introduce his playing philosophy to the Benfica squad, despite the limited time he has before the first game.

However, Benfica reports no progress regarding the list of injured players already known at the Clube da Luz as of this Thursday, September 18th. José Mourinho will not be able to count on any last-minute reinforcements for the match against AVS SAD.

It should be remembered that Rui Costa decided to dismiss Bruno Lage shortly after Benfica's defeat to Qarabag, a match that took place last Tuesday, September 16th. The club's management made efforts to ensure that the next coach would already lead the team in the game against AVS SAD, something that will indeed happen with the official appointment of José Mourinho.

Benfica, it should be noted, will return to the field next Saturday, September 20th. The Eagles will visit AVS SAD, in Vila das Aves, at 6:00 PM, in a match where they will attempt to respond to the draw in the last league game, which followed the defeat to Qarabag in the Champions League.
