Maniche jokes: Mourinho missed trophies at Benfica, no League Cup | OneFootball

Jose Mourinho has been announced as the successor to Bruno Lage at Benfica. After it was pointed out that the coach has not been a champion for 10 years, Maniche, a former player of the three major teams, defended the coach, recalling the few clubs where the coach did not win titles and made fun of the Club da Luz.

“Jose Mourinho won titles at almost all the clubs. He didn't win at Tottenham, he didn't win at Fenerbahçe,” argued the former midfielder. In the studio, it was corrected: "at Benfica, Mourinho also didn't win titles". The commentator reacted on CNN Portugal.

“Jose Mourinho didn't win titles at Benfica because there were no League Cups…”, he joked, alluding to the fact that Benfica had ‘collected’ several trophies in the early editions of the less valuable competition. On a more serious note, Maniche reminded that Jose Mourinho was only at the club da Luz for three months, so it would be difficult for him to win titles.

“He has everything that coaches should have. He has game knowledge, he has charisma and he is an exceptional professional. In some clubs, he didn't get results, but they were difficult projects. He never waited for the ideal club. He was at Roma and won, at Manchester United he won the Europa League…”, pointed out the former Portuguese international.
