Benfica have parted ways with head coach Bruno Lage following a string of poor results, and the Portuguese giants are already in talks with Jose Mourinho as a potential replacement.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Benfica have opened discussions with Mourinho, who is keen on returning to management after his recent dismissal from Fenerbahçe. The 61-year-old tactician, who began his coaching journey in Portugal, is reportedly interested in taking charge at the Estádio da Luz as he eyes a swift comeback to the dugout.
Mourinho, a two-time Champions League winner, has been linked with several clubs across Europe in recent weeks. A move to Benfica would mark a homecoming for the manager, who briefly coached the club in 2000 before embarking on his illustrious career.
