José Mourinho has already led Benfica training... No good news | OneFootball

José Mourinho has already led his first training session at Benfica, shortly after being officially announced as the new coach of the Eagles. The Portuguese manager began his first day of work at his new club with his sights already set on the next match, against AVS SAD.

According to the Eagles, through their official channels, José Mourinho’s training session was "marked by intensity, ambition, and focus". The new coach is already working to introduce his playing philosophy to the Benfica squad, despite the limited time he will have before the first match.

Benfica does not report, however, any developments regarding the list of injured players already known at the Clube da Luz as of this Thursday, September 18. Therefore, José Mourinho will not be able to count on any last-minute reinforcements for the match against AVS SAD.

It should be recalled that Rui Costa decided to dismiss Bruno Lage shortly after Benfica’s defeat to Qarabag, a match that took place last Tuesday, September 16. The club’s management made efforts to ensure that the next coach would already be in charge for the match against AVS SAD, something that will indeed happen, with the official appointment of José Mourinho.

Benfica, remember, will be back on the pitch next Saturday, September 20. The Eagles will visit AVS SAD, in Vila das Aves, at 18:00, in a match where they will try to respond to the draw in their last league game, which followed the defeat to Qarabag in the Champions League.
