Nuno Encarnação says someone at Benfica recalls José Hermano Saraiva | OneFootball

Nuno Encarnação believes that football in Portugal goes far beyond what happens on the pitch. The Porto supporter understands that clubs have increasingly relied on the voice of their coaches to convey their message. However, when analyzing José Mourinho, he made several criticisms of the way the Benfica coach communicates and compares him to José Hermano Saraiva.

"José Mourinho, that great master of communication, is today a coach with voice problems every 15 days", one can read in the newspaper 'Record'. The columnist suggests that the manager no longer shows the same media consistency he once did.

In addition, he highlights that José Mourinho’s trademark style no longer seems to fit modern football: "Today’s football no longer puts up with mind games every week, let alone the simulation of chaos". Nuno Encarnação says that what was once a hallmark of the Portuguese coach has lost its effectiveness.

"At 63, Mourinho seems more suited to talking about past achievements than actually striving for future triumphs".
