José Mourinho hands car over to Benfica | OneFootball

gave another sign of a move away from Benfica. Last Monday, June 1, the Portuguese coach returned the car that had been provided to him by the Club during the period in which he managed the Eagles’ first team.

Although there has still been no official announcement regarding his future, Mourinho is waiting for the outcome of the Real Madrid elections, scheduled for next Sunday. The coach is seen as one of Florentino Pérez’s electoral trump cards in the race for the presidency against Enrique Riquelme.

José Mourinho has already signed a contract with Real Madrid until 2029 and is preparing to return to the Santiago Bernabéu. The Spanish club is expected to pay around 15 million euros to Benfica to secure the Portuguese coach’s departure.

Real Madrid’s officials are already working on preparations for the new era under the Setúbal-born coach. In addition to defining the future coaching staff, planning for the transfer market for next season has also already begun behind the scenes at the Spanish club.

Meanwhile, at Luz, signs continue to emerge that the link between Mourinho and Benfica is nearing its end. The return of the car provided by the Club ended up representing another symbolic step in that farewell process, albeit without any official announcement from either party.
