"My decision is that I would like to continue at Benfica. Jorge Mendes is my agent, but I am in charge of my own decision."
"You say we've dropped two points; I'd say we've lost our last chance to fight for the title. We're no longer in control of our own destiny when it comes to finishing second."
"Even if we won every game - which would be extremely difficult, but possible - Sporting would also have to drop two points. But the aim is to fight for this."
Jose Mourinho expressed his desire to continue coaching Benfica next season, despite the team's current position in the Primeira Liga. Benfica is third, seven points behind leaders Porto, following a recent 1-1 draw with Casa Pia. Mourinho's contract runs until June 2027, but it includes a clause for potential departure. He dismissed rumors of leaving after the 2025-26 season, emphasizing his commitment to Benfica. The team remains unbeaten but has drawn nine matches, impacting their title chances significantly.
