Jose Mourinho, who took over Benfica, made headlines with his foul-mouthed speech in the locker room before his first match.



The 62-year-old experienced coach returned to his career, which he briefly started in 2000, by signing a two-year contract with Benfica last week. He faced his first test away at Vila das Aves. Benfica left the field with a clear 3-0 victory, while Mourinho's pre-match speech shared on the club's social media accounts created a significant stir.



Mourinho addressed his players with the following words:



"Winning at Benfica is very nice. Playing at Benfica is damn hard. Losing at Benfica is damn hard. But winning at Benfica is incredibly beautiful. The talk is over now, we are going out on the field, and we will kill them."



While Mourinho's motivational speech filled with foul language sparked debate in the football community, it was evident that the players were highly fired up. Team captain Nicolas Otamendi also supported his coach, motivating his teammates by saying, "The only thing that matters in this club is three points and the championship. All for one, one for all, Benfica!"



After the match, Mourinho stated that while the victory was pleasing, it was not extraordinary, saying, "I told my players they needed to go out with a winning spirit. Their confidence rose in the second half, and I let them play freely."



Mourinho's foul-mouthed speech surprised and excited the Benfica community in his very first match.
