The future of Jose Mourinho as the head coach of Benfica has been clarified following recent speculation regarding his tenure at the Lisbon-based club.
Operative Information Center-OMM, citing foreign media outlets, reports that Benfica President Rui Costa has put an end to rumors surrounding Mourinho's position within the team. During a press briefing, the president confirmed that the Portuguese specialist will remain at the helm for the upcoming season.
Costa briefly stated, "Yes, he will stay," demonstrating his continued confidence in Mourinho's leadership despite the pressures of top-tier European competition.
Although Mourinho's contract reportedly contains a specific clause that would allow for the termination of the partnership, both parties have expressed a clear intention to continue their collaboration. The management is reportedly satisfied with the tactical system and the overall results achieved by "The Special One" during his time with the Lisbon giants.
Jose Mourinho, one of the most decorated managers in football history, joined Benfica with the aim of restoring the club's dominance in both domestic and European arenas. Benfica, a cornerstone of Portuguese football, has a storied history in the UEFA Champions League, and the retention of a high-profile manager like Mourinho is seen as a strategic move to maintain stability and attract top-tier talent to the club.
