he again addressed his future at Benfica and made it clear that, despite the desire he has already expressed, he cannot guarantee long-term continuity. When asked whether he could say he would stay at the Club of Light, the coach was quite clear.

"I can't say something like that because it doesn't depend only on me", also recalling that "a coach, a player, a director, a kit man, a physiotherapist... no one can guarantee they will be in the same place for the next 10 years".

In the preview of the derby against Sporting, the Benfica coach was also asked about the possible starting eleven, but refused to reveal it: "The team hasn't changed. Rui doesn't reveal his either; if he wanted to, he could change it without any problem. I'm not going to reveal it, and there probably won't be any major surprises to justify all this secrecy".

On Benfica's unbeaten run, José Mourinho offered a balanced view, explaining that "there are draws that don't make Benfica any greater than it is, there are draws that felt like defeats. We have already thrown away wins in the final minutes".
