Coach Mourinho made his return to Benfica after 25 years, replacing coach Bruno Lage, who was fired after a surprise defeat to Qarabag in the Champions League on September 17.
He had his first match as head coach of Benfica when he traveled to Vila das Aves of AVS. This was not too difficult a challenge for Benfica. The Lisbon team easily won 3-0 against the home team.
Heorhiy Sudakov opened the scoring for Benfica late in the first half. Then, in the 59th minute, Vangelis Pavlidis made it 2-0 from the penalty spot. Finally, Franjo Ivanovic sealed the 3-0 victory for Benfica.

As usual, coach Mourinho always knows how to create eternal emotions, with reactions that show his special quality. After Ivanovic scored to make it 3-0, the Portuguese coach kept saying something, then kicked the water bottle and continuously raised his fist in the air.
That shows the great energy of the coach born in 1963. Although in recent years, he has not conquered the peaks, this coach still shows his special and unique qualities. Benfica fans have waited too long to witness this.
Coach Mourinho led Benfica in 2000 but only worked for 11 matches before leaving. After that, he had an illustrious career with Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Tottenham, AS Roma... with a series of major titles.
It is worth mentioning that in the coming time, Benfica will have to face Porto and Chelsea. Those will be emotional matches for the “Special One”. If he helps Benfica overcome these two opponents, his reputation will be very high.
Currently, Benfica is ranked 2nd on the Portuguese championship table with 13 points after 5 matches, 5 points behind the leading team Porto but has played 1 match less.
