José Mourinho is reportedly on the brink of returning to management in Portugal after reaching an agreement in principle with a top-flight Portuguese club, Benfica.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the veteran coach has been in advanced talks and only final details are left before the deal is made official.
The appointment would mark Mourinho’s first managerial job in his home country since the early stages of his career more than two decades ago.
The move follows the club’s decision to part ways with its previous manager after a disappointing campaign that included setbacks in European competition. Reports suggest the deal could be finalised in the coming days.
Mourinho, 62, remains one of the most successful coaches in world football, with league titles in England, Italy, and Spain, as well as two UEFA Champions League triumphs.
His most recent job was in Turkey with Fenerbahçe, where he was dismissed in August after the side failed to secure Champions League qualification.
If confirmed, his return would represent one of the most high-profile coaching appointments in Portuguese football in recent years, drawing attention from fans across Europe.
