Lisbon's "Benfica" has a new coach.

Jose Mourinho, who has wandered all over Europe and spent more than 20 years abroad, has returned to Portugal.

On Thursday, J. Mourinho was officially presented as the new head coach of "Benfica".

The start of the "Benfica" season has not been very poor. They successfully progressed through the Champions League qualifiers, where they had to overcome the "Fenerbahce" team that was then coached by Mourinho, and in Portugal, they managed to earn 10 points in the first 4 rounds.

However, there was a very painful loss to the "Qarabag" team (2:3) at the start of the Champions League.
