October 8th: Former Benfica coach Bruno Lage recently attended the Portuguese Football Golden Globe Award Ceremony and talked about his successor Mourinho.

Bruno Lage said: "I am not in a hurry to coach again. I left football for a while before my last coaching. I always had the passion to wait for the right project, and then Benfica appeared at the right time. We spent 13 months and won two trophies, which makes me very happy."

"There are some good job opportunities abroad, but it must be a project that is meaningful on a professional and personal level. My children A 5-year-old and a 10-year-old, I have to take care of both. Going to Saudi Arabia? Everything is possible. "

Talking about the past at Benfica, Bruno Lage said that he had turned that page and even revealed his meeting with Mourinho: "That was natural, the past has become the past. I still follow Benfica, but I focus more on the daily life of my children. I met Mourinho, I hugged him and wished him good luck. "
