Miguel Dantas has written this morning about José Mourinho’s return to Portugal after more than two decades.
Less than three weeks after being dismissed by Fenerbahce, José Mourinho is back in the dugout. The “Special One” has taken over at Benfica, marking his return to his home country more than two decades after his move from Porto to Chelsea. In an unusual twist he has signed a contract to June 2027 with a break clause next summer related to October’s club presidential election. Will this be a fresh start for Mourinho, or another step down in his career?
Hélder Postiga, a former Tottenham forward and one of Mourinho’s key players at Porto, regards the appointment as a win for an entire nation. Postiga, who scored five goals in Porto’s triumphant 2003-04 Uefa Cup campaign, believes the coach’s return will elevate Portuguese football. “It will be great for the game here,” he says. “Mourinho is more than a man – he’s a global brand.”

Hello world!
As the sun sets on a busy week of European football, with three full nights of Champions League action throwing two different English clubs into continental competition on each of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, a hectic weekend dawns.
Tonight Middlesbrough, the current Championship leaders, play fifth-placed West Bromwich Albion, who could overtake them with a healthy win. Tomorrow the Premier League action starts with a lunchtimely Merseyside derby at Anfield and continues with a couple of meaty-looking encounters between sides currently struggling, with bottom club Wolves hosting Leeds, and a Burnley side unlucky to have only three points welcoming a Nottingham Forest team seemingly approaching full wheels-off mode. And while it’s way too early to pay much attention to any of the league tables and the WSL most of all, their season being just two games old, Sunday’s game between Manchester United and Arsenal, two of the teams with 100% records so far and last year’s second- and third-place finishers, is a guaranteed cracker.
So, I hear you ask, is there anything to look out for in the Premier League this weekend?
That, my friends, is a question I can answer.
