Vítor Pinto reveals latest on Mourinho's possible Benfica exit | OneFootball

Vítor Pinto brought new information about the future of José Mourinho, at a time when the coach’s name continues to be strongly linked with a possible return to Spain, more specifically to Real Madrid. According to Record’s deputy editor, the scenario on the table could involve a significant contract.

“If they put in front of him, as everything indicates could happen, a three-year contract, the idea would be to complete a medium-term project cycle at the club,” he said during the program Liga Now, which belongs to the NOW channel.

The journalist also explained the logic behind this kind of move. “A coach needs time, needs to leave his mark. So I can’t imagine Real Madrid betting on José Mourinho with anything less than a three-year contract, or at least offering him a longer project than the one Benfica is giving him,” he said.

Regarding Benfica’s position, the commentator highlighted that control over the situation is limited. “Benfica controls absolutely nothing. Rui Costa wants to keep José Mourinho, but there are highly polarised forces that influence these decisions,” he explained.

Even so, Vítor Pinto reinforced the idea that internally the desire is there. “I know things Rui Costa has been saying inside and outside the Club, and I have absolutely no doubt that he wants Mourinho to stay”, he concluded, showing the desire of the Eagles’ president.
