Is a two-year contract enough? Can Mourinho turn around this time?

10:00pm, 11 November 2025Football

Benfica lost 2 points at home and Rui Costa was successfully re-elected. This past weekend was destined to be a mixed bag for Mourinho.

Double losses, Benfica has to accept mediocrity.

Lost to Bayer Leverkusen and tied with Casapia. Benfica suffered two consecutive sap shots in three days and almost exited the Champions League early. The hope of winning the league is getting less and less. Mourinho's midway firefighting is destined to not be so smooth. Benfica's tragedy was doomed as early as the summer window. When Di Maria, Florentino Luis, Alvaro Carreras, Kequ and Aktilkoglu left the team at the same time, there were not many cards left for Mourinho.

The "Second Year of Mourinho" is the harvest period, and the madman is waiting for another promise.

In the past coaching career, Mourinho only achieved success in the "Second Year of Mourinho". Inter Milan's "Triple Crown" great achievements, Real Madrid's league championship and Chelsea's "Little Pony" stories all happened this way.

For Mourinho, the only chance of redemption is to wait for reinforcements from Rui Costa. After successfully being elected by taking advantage of the traffic generated by Mourinho, Rui Costa can start preparing for signings.
