Breaking news! Rui Costa and José Mourinho spotted at Benfica Campus | OneFootball

There are developments in the José Mourinho process. On the morning of Wednesday, May 20, the national press reported that Rui Costa and the coach were spotted at the Benfica Campus, in Seixal. According to the same reports, the Eagles’ president and the Special One spoke for the first time since the match against Estoril.

According to what NOW channel reported, Rui Costa arrived at the training center at around 10:30 a.m., five minutes before José Mourinho came through the same gates. The same source says it was possible to see the two Benfica figures talking, the first time they have crossed paths since last Saturday, May 16.

On the other hand, the TV station was unable to determine the content of the conversation between the two, but says that the Reds’ president left the facilities half an hour after arriving. José Mourinho, meanwhile, remained at the site, taking his place in the stands of pitch no. 1, where he watched the clash between Benfica and Santa Clara in the semi-finals of the Revelação Cup.

It should be remembered that, on the morning of this Wednesday, the press reported that José Mourinho still has not informed Rui Costa of his departure for Real Madrid, as he still has no guarantee over Florentino Pérez’s continuity at the helm of the Spanish club. As such, the process should drag on over the coming days, creating more doubts.

On the other hand, the delay in Mourinho confirming his departure from Luz could greatly complicate the intervention Rui Costa promised to members and Benfica supporters. After the end of the women’s Portuguese Cup, the Eagles’ president said he would take stock of the season that the Club of Luz had.
