Tiago Gouveia eyes Benfica return, reveals Mourinho secret | OneFootball

After several years at Benfica, where he completed his training and was introduced to the main team by Nélson Veríssimo, Tiago Gouveia - who received feedback from the Club about his loan - is experiencing his first time outside Portugal in France. In a recent interview, the Portuguese winger discussed some possibilities regarding his future as a coach and also certain 'Benfica impacts' in Ligue 1.

Still far from thinking about the end of his career, Tiago Gouveia revealed that he values projects and coaches he can work with, citing Paulo Fonseca and Roberto De Zerbi as references. Regarding a potential experience with José Mourinho, he admits he has heard various opinions: "I've been told I would enjoy working with him," he said on the 'Final Cut' podcast.

Additionally, the winger praised Renato Paiva, António Oliveira, and Nélson Veríssimo, confessing that the experience with Paiva sparked an idea for the future. "Being coached by Renato Paiva gave me a click to one day become a football coach."

Now in Ligue 1, he has been reuniting with former locker room teammates who now shine at PSG. Among them is João Neves, currently one of the figures of the Parisian team. "Everyone recognizes João Neves' importance at Paris Saint-Germain," emphasizing that "PSG's midfield is different with and without him on the field."

Tiago Gouveia also recalled the impact of Gonçalo Ramos, another former colleague at Benfica, remembering the match played at Parc des Princes. "When I saw Gonçalo Ramos enter the field, I immediately thought he would find a way to score a goal," he recounted, recalling Nice's 1-0 defeat, with the Portuguese international scoring at 90'+4'.
