Florentino Perez Drops Unexpected Verdict on Jose Mourinho’s Benfica Comeback – What Did He Really Mean?
Mourinho’s relationships with some of his senior players reportedly became frayed and he left the club in 2013, officially by mutual consent but with Perez’s respect for him intact and after a failed attempt by the president to persuade him to stay.
After his return to Lisbon after a quarter of a century collecting trophies around Europe, Mourinho, who is ranked at no.12 in FourFourTwo‘s list of the greatest managers ever, revealed that Perez had been in touch with him with a message of support.
“I’d like to say that President Florentino sent me a message saying, ‘I’m very happy that you’ve returned to a club of your calibre’,” Mourinho told the press.
