SL Benfica have confirmed the appointment of Jose Mourinho as their new manager on a two-year contract, keeping him at the club until June 2027. The decision comes shortly after the dismissal of Bruno Lage, who was sacked following a series of disappointing performances.
Mourinho, regarded as one of the greatest managers in football history, makes a highly-anticipated return to the Lisbon-based club, where his managerial journey began over two decades ago. Benfica’s hierarchy had already set their sights on the Portuguese tactician, wasting little time in securing his services once Lage’s departure was finalized.
The 61-year-old brings a wealth of experience, having managed European giants such as Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, and Manchester United, winning major titles including two UEFA Champions League trophies. Benfica fans will be eager to see if Mourinho can restore the club’s dominance domestically and help them compete strongly on the European stage.
