José Mourinho and Real Madrid continue to fuel speculation, as the Portuguese manager keeps his future at Benfica shrouded in uncertainty at the end of the season.

The future of José Mourinho remains up in the air. Speaking at a press conference, the Portuguese tactician left the door open regarding his next move with Benfica Lisbon, despite a strong season.

"When the season with Benfica ends, we’ll have 10 days to decide whether to continue or part ways," he revealed.

This statement reignites rumors, as his name is being strongly linked with Real Madrid.

Favored in the mind of Florentino Pérez, Mourinho could be a credible option for the Madrid bench. A potential return that, behind the scenes, would not leave anyone indifferent.
