👀 Nearly done: Benfica confirm talks with Mourinho | OneFootball

It could become a reality today. The return of José Mourinho to Portuguese football could become official if negotiations between Benfica and the coach from Setubal come to a successful conclusion.

The club confirmed this through a brief statement on its website. "Sport Lisboa e Benfica – Futebol, SAD has informed the Comissão do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários (CMVM) that «negotiations are underway for the hiring of coach José Mário dos Santos Mourinho Félix, which are expected to conclude shortly»".

This news confirms the speculation of recent days and marks a pivotal move in Portuguese football. The arrival of "The Special One" to the "Eagles" bench represents the club's attempt to return to the path of success both nationally and internationally.

The announcement comes after the recent dismissal of Bruno Lage. If negotiations are successful, Mourinho would return to the club where he began his career as a head coach more than two decades ago.
