🚨 Club confirms talks, Mourinho set for Champions League return | OneFootball

That was quick! Just recently, José Mourinho was dismissed from Fenerbahçe, and now he seems to have found a new job. 'The Special One' could soon return to the big football stage. As Champions League participant Benfica confirmed in a brief press release, "negotiations for the appointment of coach José Mário dos Santos Mourinho Félix are underway" and are expected to be concluded soon.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Mourinho will sign a contract until June 2027.

The 61-year-old follows Bruno Lage, who was fired overnight after a defeat in the Champions League against Qarabag Agdam. Benfica squandered a 2-0 lead in the opening of the Champions League and lost 3-2 to the CL newcomer.

Mourinho was dismissed from Fenerbahçe after the club missed out on qualifying for the Champions League in the playoffs. Ironically, it was Bruno Lage and Benfica who caused his dismissal. Mourinho had already worked as a coach for the Lisbon club in 2000 but was dismissed after just ten games.
