Jose Mourinho has everyone scratching their heads! The Spanish media said Real Madrid was a sure thing, but... | ‘None of us are fools!’

The future of world-renowned Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho, who left Fenerbahçe at the start of the season to take the helm at Benfica, has once again become a topic of debate. Rumors have been constantly swirling around the experienced coach, who was unable to finish the season as he had hoped.

The Spanish media had already reported that the claim that Mourinho would return to Real Madrid following talks with Perez had reached a final stage. In fact, the phrase “it's a done deal” was being loudly echoed in the press.

However, Mourinho left people wondering by giving his characteristic responses to the questions posed to him.

'I RECEIVED AN OFFER FROM BENFICA'

When asked, “Will you stay at Benfica?” Mourinho replied, “I don’t know; I’ll let you know when I find out. There is a possibility I’ll stay, yes. My intention is to see what happens next week. I received a contract renewal offer from Benfica, and I appreciate this just as much as I did when I was given the opportunity to coach Benfica months ago. But in recent weeks, I didn’t want to talk about what’s been said or unsaid regarding my future; none of us are fools."

'THERE HAVE BEEN NO DISCUSSIONS'

When asked about his future, Mourinho also said, "Frankly, things are happening, but as I said, there is no signed contract, there is no contract on the table, there have been no discussions between me and the Real Madrid president, and there have been no discussions with anyone important within the club. The only real and concrete thing at the moment is an extension offer from Benfica," leaving listeners with unanswered questions.
