Jose Mourinho's sacking as Manchester United coach took no one by surprise, since his footballers and the entire environment surrounding the club hinted that an exit was coming sooner or later. Even so, Mourinho's coaching skills still attract some teams, but he's decided to turn down the first efforts to lure him back to the European dugouts.
A report by Portuguese newspaper Record suggests that Mourinho has turned down an offer to return to one of his former teams: Benfica. The Eagles recently parted ways with Rui Vitoria, and with Mourinho available, the team's hierarchy felt it proper to offer Mou a chance for redemption. Sadly for them, the tactician decided to rest for the remainder of the season.
Mourinho earned over $440,000 a week at Manchester United, which will be quite complicated to match by any team in the world. Furthermore, reports coming in from Spain suggest that Mourinho has already landed a deal to make a shocking comeback to Real Madrid, even if most fans and some players are not willing to have him around again.
Benfica is trying to turn around their disappointing season, and saw Mourinho as the right man for the job. The Eagles were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League, but their domestic form has been rather poor to say the least, since they are ranked fourth in the Primeira Liga after 15 games.

Nobody knows what went on in dressing room and in MU board room. Even Mourino also fail to Shine when he is there. Currently there seems to be doing well what's happened? Suddenly the team turn around with good Performance. This Miracle doesn't just happen believe many die hard fan understand this. Pls let the Special One have his Peace and stop bringing up the old story again.

He is looking for a big and rich stupid club to hire him. He now he can not go anyway if he manage small and poor club. With a big and rich club he can buy expensive players in order to win the match. As we know all manager in this world can do... it is proven with good players at MU, Mourinho still can can not win the game meaning that he have nothing special to sell for himself.

Mourinho turns down Benfica offer to start coaching again (Record) Me: 😂😂♥️ I am glad he turn down the offer because Its to early for him to take on another coaching job at the moment all the clubs should leave him alone and let this man rest cuz Coaching Is not an easy job when your a Coach you have so much responsibilities cuz Its your job to make sure all your players are okay and they are on the same page as you are and make sure all the players are fit and most importantly and your job to make sure all the players are happy and thats really difficult when you have 25/30 players on the team but only 11 players out of those 25/30 players gets to play so I think he should relax and enjoy time with his beautiful family!

MOURINHO is not desperate to take first offer out there & one such as BENFICA (no disrespect intended towards BENFICA),but MOU has some scores to settle in further EUROPE, he has been proven & his CV has coveted titles through out EUROPE big & small TEAMS even the previous team he was sacked from in some sense MOU has resurrected that team no matter how their fans want to view him..d man is the go too guy if a team needs results whether he only spend 2 season & gone by d 3rd "MOURINHO is a winner"

morinho is hated in England, the English media are responsible for his sacking, but no doubt he is a winner that's why he is called the *special one*

why are so people so obsessed with Mou ? How many managers lost their jobs and we are still talking about them ,none ? The media just wants to assassinate his character because he is good . Let the guy " rest in peace " . Pogba is so overrated... Lukaku is bad ,and it's all Mou's fault ? People still talk about him because he is good .

Sorry Benfica, you don't get to enjoy exciting pragmatic football where you win games by 1-0 and sit back and defend in numbers with your winger as a wing back. Now you're subjected to boring attacking football from open play for yet another season...

Presently, it’s players power. Most Managers in modern game got the sack because the players dislike being criticised. It’s not Mourinho is out dated, it’s the players who want everything easy and don’t want to work hard to earn their money, they want the easy and relax way to earn money and not trophies. This generation of footballers are pussy. So stop criticising the managers and coaches. In Mourinho case, it’s the media who wants to kill him by asking stupid questions and write a lot of untrue stories . The public get the fake news and insult him instead.

He can no longer work with teams with small budgets which depend on their academies for survival! He wants clubs with billionaire's who can bankroll big name signings, Benfica is non of them. He's got a problem developing players he wants the proven products, spends three seasons with you, win a trophy or two and is off leaving you exactly where he found you or worse

He will only go to a cash rich club, buy players to win trophies. His tactics are outdated
