No one wants me: Mourinho left in stitches at Benfica press conference | OneFootball

José Mourinho's press conference was marked by a light-hearted moment, when the coach responded ironically to a question about his future at Benfica, playing down the issue of his future at the Lisbon club.

"It's a non-issue. What deadlock? I spoke about that situation two months ago. Ask another question. Can you guarantee you'll stay at RTP?" the coach asked. The journalist's reply ended up causing laughter: "I can, because nobody wants me."

On the sporting side, the coach addressed Richard Ríos' physical condition and appeared calm about using him, explaining that: "He's fine, it didn't seem like anything worrying to me. He didn't train on the first day of the week and then trained without any kind of problem."

Regarding the fight for second place, Mourinho maintained a determined tone, even while acknowledging the mathematical difficulties, stating that "with four games left and being 12 points behind, it is possible. I keep repeating that another thing is the pragmatism of the numbers."
