Benfica’s last win in 2025 saw several special guests in attendance | OneFootball

The under-23 team of Benfica had some familiar faces in the stands. As confirmed by the shared images, the narrow victory of the young eagles was closely watched by José Mourinho. However, the Special One was not the only notable presence.

Alongside the coach of Benfica's main team, João Tralhão, one of José Mourinho's assistants, was also present. In the stands of Seixal, there were also some players in attendance, namely António Silva, Gianluca Prestianni, João Rego, Rodrigo Rêgo, and Tiago Freitas, with the last two having a more regular presence in Vítor Vinha's squad.

Since arriving at the Clube da Luz, José Mourinho has been a regular presence at the Benfica Campus, where, besides his work with the main squad, he has closely followed the young talents of the red formation. The Special One has been attentive to the emerging promises, such as Ivan Lima, José Neto, Daniel Banjaqui, and even Rodrigo Rêgo.

On the other hand, it wouldn't be the first time José Mourinho has lavishly praised the work being done in the red and white formation. Recently, the coach attended a Christmas event organized by the eagles, where he left a message of encouragement to the kids of the Glorious academy.

It is worth remembering that the under-23 team faced Estoril on the morning of Monday, December 22, in the last round of the regular phase of the Liga Revelação, where the reds won by one goal to zero. In the end, the team led by Vítor Vinha finished the competition in first place, with 35 points, eight more than Sporting, which ended in fourth position.
