Tiago Gouveia told he would enjoy working with José Mourinho during Nice loan | OneFootball

On-loan Benfica winger Tiago Gouveia says he has been told he would enjoy working with José Mourinho, as he completes his first season outside Portugal with Nice.

"I have been told I would enjoy working with him," said Gouveia. He was speaking on the Final Cut podcast. He added that he values projects and managers he can work with, naming Paulo Fonseca and Roberto De Zerbi as references.

He also praised Renato Paiva, António Oliveira and Nélson Veríssimo. "Being coached by Renato Paiva gave me the spark to one day become a coach," he said.

Gouveia recalled the impact of former Benfica team-mate Gonçalo Ramos during a meeting at the Parc des Princes. "When I saw Gonçalo come on, I immediately thought he would find a way to score." Nice were beaten 1-0, with the Portugal international scoring at 90+4.

This season he has made 26 appearances for Nice, 14 in Ligue 1, seven in the Europa League and two in the Coupe de France. Across 934 minutes he has scored two goals, both in Europe.
