Mourinho takes serious action on Benfica rumours

Jose Mourinho is well aware of talk linking him with Benfica.

The former Chelsea and Inter Milan coach is being linked with Benfica for next season.

Record says Mourinho cancelled a visit to the stadium in order not to stir up further unrest among the Eagles.

The 61-year-old had originally planned to watch the match against Olympique Marseille (2:1) on Thursday at the Estdio da Luz.

However, Mourinho did not want to send the wrong signals and stayed away from the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals.

Benfica's head coach Roger Schmidt has been under pessure this season, which has led to Mourinho being considered as a successor.
