Rui Vitoria’s bad luck at Benfica may just be Jose Mourinho’s good luck as the former Manchester United Manager is set to return to football management at the club that gave him his first stripes between September and December 2000.
Following a poor run of results that sees the most decorated Portuguese club in fourth spot, Vitoria as given the kick at the Aguias paving the way for the “Special One’s” quick return to managament after his own unceremonius exit at Old Trafford.
His role at Benfica maybe just a short term one as the club may not be able to afford Mourinho’s financial demands. Despite being given the boo by Ed Woodward, Jose still managed to walk away with over $20,000,000.00
