Noronha Lopes on Mourinho at Benfica: From today onwards... | OneFootball

João Noronha Lopes has already welcomed José Mourinho, the Portuguese coach who was recently announced by Benfica to lead the professional football team's technical staff until the end of the 2026/27 season. The candidate for the Presidency of the Clube da Luz left a message through social media.

"From today, José Mourinho has the strength of millions of Benfica fans worldwide with him", João Noronha Lopes began writing on his personal page on the social network X, highlighting the importance of the position the coach from Setúbal has taken on.

The manager continued, not hiding his support for José Mourinho as the coach of Benfica, and urging a winning mentality after the Eagles failed to win the national championship and the Portuguese Cup: "And I am one of them. Welcome, José. Let's go for victories".

Together with the phrase he posted on X, João Noronha Lopes also published a video, with an excerpt from José Mourinho's official presentation at Benfica. In that moment of the press conference, which took place last Thursday, it is possible to hear the Portuguese coach saying the following:

"Where we have to start is exactly with this emotional profile. We have to enter the field knowing that we are not just eleven, we have to enter the field knowing that we are many millions and thinking of them", said José Mourinho, in the excerpt later shared by João Noronha Lopes.
