Mourinho confirms club he’ll coach next season as Benfica title hopes end

Jose Mourinho has insisted that he wants to stay with Benfica, even though he admits the team has lost hope of winning the league title.

A 1-1 draw with Casa Pia on Monday, means they can no longer catch up in the league standings.

Mourinho is currently signed with Benfica until June 2027, but there is a clause in his contract that lets him leave at the end of the season.

When asked about his future, Mourinho said, “Jorge Mendes is my agent, but I make my own decisions. My choice is to stay in Benfica.”

Mourinho came back to Portugal last September after coaching in other countries for 21 years.
