Lisbon's "Benfica" coach José Mourinho is burning with the desire to conduct a top-level club again.

"Diario AS" reports that the Portuguese was very pleased to hear the news about becoming a candidate for the Madrid "Real" coaching position.

Moreover, the strategist himself has started to show initiative for negotiations to begin as soon as possible.

According to the press, "Benfica" is already losing hope of retaining the legendary coach and has designated compatriot Rubén Amorim as his successor.

The current contract of J. Mourinho with the Lisbon team includes a €3 million buyout option.
