José Mourinho reacts to Ruben Amorim's sacking by Manchester United | OneFootball

José Mourinho commented this Tuesday, January 6, on the dismissal of Ruben Amorim - which may affect the Eagles - from Manchester United. In the preview of Benfica – Braga, the coach said he doesn't feel any additional pressure regarding a potential return to Portugal, also recalling his successes in England.

"A pressure factor for coaches in Portugal I don't understand why. But each coach will answer for themselves. For me, no,” José Mourinho began to respond when asked about Ruben Amorim's departure from the red devils' technical command.

“I know my career at Man. United well. I also know well the reason why I ended up leaving. But as I always do, or try to do, when I leave a club, I close the door. Or they are the ones who close the door on me. And then I don't comment, I don't analyze much externally what happened,” added the Benfica coach.

“The history stayed there, the numbers stayed there, the three medals I won came home. What happened with Ruben Amorim is something that only he can analyze. Knowing him more or less well, I believe he will. If he will then do it with you and make his view of the situation public, that's something I don't know", concluded Ruben Amorim.

The clash between Benfica and Braga, counting for the semi-finals of the Allianz Cup, is scheduled for next Wednesday, January 7, 2026. The kickoff will be at 8:00 PM at the Dr. Magalhães Pessoa Stadium in Leiria, the usual venue for the final four of the competition. The match will be broadcast on SportTV 1.
