Rui Calafate discusses Mourinho’s future at Benfica and fears the worst | OneFootball

Rui Calafate provided a critical assessment of the situation at Benfica and questions whether José Mourinho should continue leading the team. The communication consultant highlights the lack of offensive dynamics, the low level displayed against Porto, and doubts about the coach's ability to start a new cycle at Luz.

Regarding the performance in the Classic, he recalled that the team did not dominate the game as they should have: “We know he wasn't the one who chose the squad, however, against Porto it was Leandro Barreiro who cleared the blackout of the first half,” as reported in the newspaper 'Record'.

Mourinho's style and posture are also subject to analysis: “In his speeches, Mourinho always finds ways to stay on top and, like the best of illusionists, he plants facts that manipulate perceptions and deceive reality.”

Finally, the columnist reflects on Benfica's future and raises doubts about the coach's continuity: “The man from Setúbal is one of the best coaches ever, but the past is in the museum. Benfica is obliged to reverse the situation, and I remain doubtful if Mourinho is the right man for a new cycle.”
