Headline says Mourinho will deliver better results for Benfica than Lage | OneFootball

Nicolás Otamendi left a message on social media before the match against AVS, the first with José Mourinho in charge of the red team. The Benfica captain shared two photos on Instagram and has no doubt that the team will now achieve better results.

"Restart, start again, refocus. Better days are coming, stay positive," wrote the 37-year-old center-back. It should be remembered that, on Wednesday, the defender had already taken to social media to leave a message about the future of Benfica's season.

The 62-year-old coach thus returns to Portuguese football, 25 years after his first challenge as a head coach, precisely in charge of the red club. In the statement sent to the CMVM, it is stated that, 10 days after the last game of the season, both the Club and the coach can terminate the contract.

The hiring of José Mourinho came after the Club announced in the early hours of Wednesday the departure of coach Bruno Lage, just a few hours after the team made their home debut in the Champions League with a defeat against Qarabag of Azerbaijan (3-2).
