In a significant development for Portuguese football, Benfica is poised to announce Jose Mourinho as its new head coach. The decision follows the dismissal of Bruno Lage, who was sacked after the team suffered a surprising 3-2 defeat against Qarabag in the Champions League.
This change marks a homecoming for Mourinho, who initially started his managerial career at Benfica. Recently, he concluded his stint with Turkish club Fenerbahce after they were ousted from the Champions League playoffs by none other than Benfica.
