"Mourinho was at the centre of controversy last night in the Champions League after Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr reported racial abuse to the referee from Benfica player Gianluca Prestianni, claims that Prestianni denies. Mourinho, however, was unsympathetic to these very serious accusations, claiming, When you score a goal like that, you celebrate in a respectful way, and stating, this club, the last thing that it is, is racist, given that former striker, Eusebio, was black."
"Mourinho was linked with Los Blancos after the departure of Xabi Alonso and according to AS, the Special One's two-year deal at Benfica has a break clause that would allow him to leave the club within 10 days of the final match of the season to join any other club without any financial penalty. Persistent links to the job with the Portugal national team after the World Cup are said to have a remote chance, based on the same report,"
Vinicius Jr reported racial abuse by Benfica player Gianluca Prestianni, a claim that Prestianni denies. Jose Mourinho responded by minimizing the accusations and defending the club, citing former striker Eusebio. Mourinho's reaction drew condemnation from figures such as Thierry Henry and Clarence Seedorf, with Seedorf calling Mourinho's remarks a big mistake. Mourinho reiterated his enduring connection to Real Madrid and said he would be a Madridista forever. AS reports that Mourinho's two-year Benfica contract contains a break clause permitting a penalty-free exit within 10 days of the season's final match, and Portugal job links remain remote.
