Florentino Perez Drops Unexpected Verdict on Jose Mourinho’s Benfica Comeback – What Did He Really Mean?
Former Chelsea and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho returned to Benfica last month, 25 years after beginning his managerial career with the Lisbon club.
Mourinho was sacked by Fenerbahce but was quickly snapped up by Benfica, who offered him Champions League football and the chance to go back to West London for his warmest Chelsea reunion yet.
The Blues came out on top on Tuesday, winning 1-0 but losing striker Joao Pedro to a second yellow card deep into second-half stoppage time.
Mourinho unbeaten in the league as Benfica boss
Benfica have maintained their unbeaten start in Portugal, where the traditional big three already occupy the top three positions in the league table after just seven fixtures.
Porto have a 100% record while Benfica have won five matches and are the only other unbeaten team in the division.
