José Mourinho ‘to join’ Real Madrid after Benfica season ends | OneFootball

According to Glorioso 1904, international reports claim José Mourinho has reached an agreement with Real Madrid and would leave Benfica at the end of the season, with Florentino Pérez said to favour the move.

The report adds that contract terms are already agreed, suggesting the Benfica head coach could depart when the campaign finishes. If so, the Estoril match would be his last in charge.

It is further suggested the announcement could arrive next week, when Benfica’s season officially concludes. The indication is that Mourinho would outline his future himself, with a return to Madrid proposed.

After the draw with Braga, Mourinho sidestepped questions about his future at the Estádio da Luz, saying it was not the right moment to discuss it. He remains under contract with Benfica until 2027.

Should this scenario be confirmed, Benfica would need a new head coach. The report also points to Marco Silva, nearing the end of his Fulham contract, as the favourite to replace him, though no approaches have been made.
