Former head coach Jose Mourinho arrived in Portugal and talked with journalists about his potential work in Lisbon Benfice, who is currently active in the search for a new steering.

“Special” confirmed that the Bosi “Eagles” officially addressed him with a proposal to lead the team instead of Bruno Lange, and he was ready to consider this opportunity.

“I was asked if I could be interested in working with a Benfika coach. I replied that so it was possible. Benfica officially asked me if I was interested in this. I said I was abroad and when I returned to Portugal, I am happy to talk to the club.

When I was offered to head Benfik, I did not hesitate. I am curious. I respect Bruno Lange and wish him all the best in his career. We talked, and he knows that my return to Portugal, although not planned, could be a natural step – in particular, to work with the national team. If it happens to benphy … Tell me which of the coaches will refuse Benphyts? I’m not.

I left my previous club 3-4 weeks ago. I did not plan to stay out of work until the end of the season – this is contrary to my nature. I wanted to train, but I told myself that I had to keep an emotional balance because I did not want to agree to any club just because I was a workaholic. In this case, when I was offered to head Benfik, I did not hesitate … I am interested, I would like that, ” – quotes the words of Jose Mourinho A bola.

We will remind, on September 17, the President of Benfika Destand announced the cessation of cooperation with Bruno Lange after defeat from Karabakh at the start of the Champions League – the match ended 2: 3, although the team Anatoly Trubina and Sudakov initially had an advantage of two goals.
