Bruno Lage shares what he told Mourinho after leaving Benfica | OneFootball

Bruno Lage told journalists what he said to José Mourinho, after being replaced by the Special One as head coach of Benfica. The two Portuguese coaches were present at the most recent edition of the Portugal Football Globes.

In conversation with journalists, the former leader of the Eagles began by revealing his timing for returning to coaching: "I'm not in a big hurry to get back to coaching. Last time, I was out for a while and always went with the emotion of waiting for the right project, and Benfica appeared at a good moment."

Regarding future projects, the Setúbal native revealed that he has offers, but emphasizes that family is a factor to consider: "Good offers have come from abroad, but it has to be a project that makes sense both professionally and personally. The kids are 5 and 10 years old and I have to balance both things."

It was automatic. It's in the past. I keep up with things, but what I follow most closely is my kids' daily lives."

Finally, Bruno Lage - who was the subject of conversation in a recent interview with Rui Costa, regarding his departure from the Club of Light - made a revelation about an exchange he had with the current coach of the Eagles: "I was with mister José Mourinho, I gave him a hug and wished him luck".
