Press reveals Mourinho’s impact at Benfica | OneFootball

One month into his tenure at Benfica, the record that José Mourinho presents, in sporting terms, is not the best or what was desired by the fans, the team, or the coach. However, the Special One has had a strong impact on the Reds’ daily life, and those differences are already starting to show.

According to what the newspaper A Bola writes in its Monday edition, October 13, the first impact the Portuguese had on the Reds, 25 years after leaving Luz, was media-related, with all eyes turning to the Eagles from the first day the Setúbal native arrived in Seixal.

In addition, José Mourinho’s presence within the squad has been impactful, with several players offering high praise for the Special One. Special mention goes to Georgiy Sudakov—currently injured—who revealed that training with the Portuguese was a dream come true: “I could hardly believe it.”

Beyond the players, who are excited to work with the Portuguese, another impact Mourinho has had on the Glorious is his total commitment to Benfica. Despite not having much time on the job yet, the Special One intends to leave his fingerprint on the team. On the other hand, the several occasions when he spent the night in Seixal show that he wants the best for Benfica.

It should be recalled that, after four days off, Benfica has returned to Seixal to begin preparations for the match against Chaves, in the Portuguese Cup. After the clash with the Flavienses on October 17, the Club of Light travels to England, where they have a date with Newcastle (21), in the Champions League.
