José Mourinho was officially announced last Thursday, September 18, as the new head coach of Benfica. The coach, who arrived to fill the vacancy left by the dismissal of Bruno Lage, is fully dedicated to the Eagles, even spending the night at Seixal from Thursday to Friday.
This morning, even before 8:00 am, the Special One shared a photo of the sunrise on his social media, where Benfica’s academy is visible. Along with the photo, José Mourinho wished all Benfica fans a good day.
It should be remembered that, after being presented as the new coach of Benfica, José Mourinho led the training session for the Eagles’ squad in the afternoon. The focus is now on the Eagles’ upcoming match at AVS SAD’s ground, counting for the sixth round of Liga Portugal.
José Mourinho had already admitted, during his presentation, that he was fully focused on Benfica, stating that when he left home he said he would only return on Sunday: "The promise is clear, I will live for Benfica, for my mission. I left home and said ‘see you Sunday’."
Benfica will travel to AVS SAD’s ground next Saturday, September 20, for a match scheduled at 6:00 pm. As a preview, Mourinho has already revealed his intentions for the match: "From a tactical point of view, I will make some adjustments but in a very controlled way. A lot of things were done well by my predecessor. I’m eager to win the next game."
