Official announcement! Mourinho returns to Benfica, returns to where the dream begins, and the first Champions League match against Chelsea

Football

In the early morning of September 18, Benfica finally announced a news that excited fans around the world on his official website and social media: Jose Mourinho, the man who once called himself "special one", officially became the team's new head coach! Less than a month after leaving Fenerbahce, the 62-year-old madman drove into the door of Benfica Club in a Ferrari sports car with a sense of age. You know, it was Benfica who eliminated Fenerbahce and sent Mourinho to the "guillotine" to the dismissal of get out of class, and now Benfica welcomes him back. Mourinho's story is even more exciting than the cool novel!

Review of Mourinho's resume, it is almost a microcosm of contemporary football history. In 2004, he took over Chelsea and created the Iron-blooded Blues, leading the team to win the Premier League twice; in the 2009-10 season, he completed the triumphal title at Inter Milan and pushed himself to the top; in Real Madrid, he broke Barcelona's dominance with passion and confrontation; during the Manchester United period, he continued his honor with an UEFA Cup. Even though he coached Tottenham, Roma and Fenerbahce in the later stage, he did not play in the Champions League again, these results still proved his coaching strength.

This time, the madman chose to return to the starting point. In 2000, at the age of 25, he coached Benfica for the first time, but he left hastily just because the president changed his term. In just over two months and 9 games, all I left was regret. Afterwards, Porto had a keen eye and Mourinho rose rapidly, winning the Europa League + Champions League and embarking on the top stage of the five major European leagues. Now 25 years later, Mourinho is finally back.

The difference is that this time he is not a young young coach, but a legendary coach with 26 championships. The difference is that he returned to Portugal with more stories and experiences, facing Benfica who is determined to make a breakthrough in the Champions League. There are no superstars in the Grape Super League team. Apart from rising star Antonio Silva and veteran Otamendi, they are more local backbone and potential young players. But what Madman is best at is building a tough team with limited resources. Don’t forget that his team when he was in Porto was not a world-class superstar, but he just formed an iron army. Interestingly, Mourinho's debut in the Champions League was in the Premier League (in the early morning of October 1), which is really exciting!

More dramatic is that Benfica entered the Champions League and eliminated Fenerbahce, who is Mourinho's team just dismissed. In the dark, this seems to be a cycle of destiny. Now, the madman's goal is very clear: rebuild his dominance in the Portuguese Super League and win back the long-lost league championship; lead Benfica out of the siege in the Champions League and advance to the knockout stage, even if he passes the situation, he wants to reproduce the miracle of Porto that year, unless the goddess of luck comes again. For Benfica, they also need a coach with experience, aura and tactical system to stabilize the situation. Will the 27th champion of Madman stay here? Let's wait and see.
