Mourinho could end the Real Madrid saga rocking Benfica this Sunday | OneFootball

He returns to press conferences this Sunday, and all eyes will be on the Benfica coach. Besides the preview of the clash with Braga, there is huge expectation surrounding questions related to the coach’s future.

Benfica host the side from Minho on Monday at the Estádio da Luz, in a decisive match for the battle for second place in the league, but the atmosphere around the club continues to be shaped by rumors coming from Spain. In the last few hours, several reports have once again linked Mourinho with Real Madrid, a scenario that has fueled doubts over whether the coach will remain at the Luz next season.

The press conference, scheduled for 10 a.m. this Sunday in Seixal, could therefore become an important moment to clarify the entire situation involving the Reds’ coach - with a former player not wanting the "Special One" in Madrid.

Mourinho has a contract with Benfica for one more season, but there is a €3 million release clause that can be triggered either by the coach or by the club itself. Despite the reports coming out of Spain, the Portuguese coach has remained fully focused on the final stretch of the season. Benfica are still involved in the fight for second place in the league and know that the match against Braga could be decisive in securing direct qualification for the next edition of the Champions League.

It should be remembered that the next match between Benfica and Braga is scheduled for next Monday, May 11, in a Liga Portugal Betclic Matchday 33 fixture. Kick-off is scheduled for 8:15 p.m., and it will be played at the Estádio da Luz.
