For the 62-year-old, it is a return to an old place of work. He had already coached Benfica for a short time in 2000 after parting ways with then coach Jupp Heynckes. "I have a greater hunger than I had 25 years ago," said Mourinho at his first press conference in Lisbon. He is extremely happy to be back at Benfica and feels a great responsibility. "I am not important. Benfica is important, Benfica's fans are important. I am here to serve."
Mourinho has also worked for Chelsea, Real, Man United and Inter
Most recently, Mourinho worked for Fenerbahçe Istanbul. After failing to beat Benfica in the play-off for the top flight in August, the Turkish club released him. The title collector is now set to lead Benfica to its first championship since 2023. In his illustrious career as a head coach, the Portuguese has also worked for Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Inter Milan.
