ESPN: Mourinho to take Portugal after Martinez exits; Amorim set for Benfica

  /  rzr0101

According to the latest report from ESPN, Mourinho will take over the Portuguese national team after Roberto Martinez's contract expires, while Amorim will take over Benfica.

ESPN sources in Portugal predict that Jose Mourinho will take over as national team coach when Roberto Martinez's contract expires after the World Cup, and if Mourinho does take the job, Amorin is expected to return to Benfica.

Amorin led Sporting Lisbon to two league titles, but he himself played for Benfica for nine years and enjoyed strong support from the club's decision-makers.

Amorin's dismal 14 months at Manchester United damaged his reputation as one of Europe's best young coaches, but he remains highly regarded in Portugal, and Benfica could be his path back to football.
