Reason for Mourinho’s late arrival at Benfica training revealed | OneFootball

Benfica’s decisive session ahead of Juventus ran to time, but José Mourinho arrived one minute late, with the delay linked to the B team, Record writes.

In the live broadcast, he stepped onto the pitch shortly after the players had started. He had been watching Nélson Veríssimo’s B team session.

He was monitoring several members of the secondary squad, particularly those who have already worked with the first team under him, including Leandro Santos, whose future at the club remains uncertain.

There was further encouragement for the coach, as Dodi Lukebakio, recovering from surgery, completed some exercises on the grass.

Benfica face Juventus this Wednesday, 21 January, in the seventh round of the Champions League. Mourinho, alongside a Benfica player, is due to hold a press conference at 19:00 at the Allianz Stadium.
