"According to Fabrizio Romano, Benfica have entered advanced negotiations with Jose Mourinho to become their next head coach, following the sudden dismissal of Bruno Lage overnight. The developments have sent shockwaves through Portuguese football, as the Lisbon giants appear to be moving quickly to secure one of the most decorated managers in the modern era. Romano reports that Mourinho, who has been out of work since leaving Fenerbahce recently, has already opened the door to a sensational return to Benfica."
"The Portuguese coach briefly managed Benfica in 2000 at the very start of his career, before embarking on a journey that took him to Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur, winning domestic titles and European honours along the way. Returning now, after more than two decades, would be seen as a full-circle moment for both the coach and the club."
