José Mourinho sets date to decide whether to stay at Benfica | OneFootball

The future of José Mourinho at Benfica could be decided as early as next May 24, a date seen as decisive for the coach to take a stance on his future at the Luz, at a time when his name is once again being linked with Real Madrid.

Despite having a contract valid for one more season, the manager has a clause that allows for an early exit, a scenario that is gaining momentum amid growing interest from Spain and the possibility of changes in the dugout at several major European clubs.

According to the Spanish press, there are three options on the table: staying at Benfica, where he is said to have already outlined plans for next season; terminating his contract by activating the existing clause; or a move to Real Madrid, should the Madrid club make a concrete approach.

The chosen date comes right after the end of the Portuguese league season and coincides with the conclusion of other European leagues, timing that could make potential movement in the coaching market easier and speed up decisions at top clubs.
