The Benfica goalkeeper breaks his silence on Mourinho’s future

Amid rumors linking Jose Mourinho with a possible return to Real Madrid this summer, one of his Benfica players has made shocking statements that reveal the truth of the situation, stressing that the Portuguese manager’s future is no longer in his hands.

In a conversation with the Portuguese Record newspaper, Ukrainian goalkeeper Anatoly Trubin tried to downplay the situation, expressing his great admiration for Mourinho, whom he considers a high-class coach.

“I really don’t know what to say, it’s not my problem. He is a top coach, some bigger clubs may want to sign him.”

Praise and hope for survival

“I am very happy to work with him, he gives me great experience. I hope he stays with us at Benfica next season,” before concluding his statement with a decisive sentence that reveals the truth of the situation: “But he admitted that his future is not in his hands.”

Tropen’s comments come as controversy grows within Benfica after the Portuguese coach was linked with Real Madrid and his return to Spain this summer in a deal that could end his short career with the Portuguese Eagles, which began a year ago.
