A remarkable development has emerged regarding Jose Mourinho, who took over the helm at Benfica following his departure from Fenerbahçe. It is being discussed that the experienced manager may be preparing for the Portuguese National Team.
According to a report by ESPN Portugal, Mourinho's tenure, which is under contract with Benfica until 2027, may end sooner than expected. The possibility of the 63-year-old coach taking charge of his country's national team after the 2026 World Cup is on the agenda.
It is stated that the federation wants to bring Jose Mourinho to the head of the team after the contract of the current head coach, Roberto Martinez, expires with the 2026 World Cup. If this plan materializes, it is reported that Benfica is close to reaching an agreement with Ruben Amorim as their new head coach.
If Mourinho begins his duty with the national team, it is anticipated that a significant change will occur in Portuguese football and that the collaboration between Benfica and Ruben Amorim will mark the beginning of a new era.
