Benfica's head coach Jose Mourinho presented a striking report to the management before the mid-season transfer period. The Portuguese coach requested reinforcements in 5 positions to strengthen the team.
MOURINHO'S REQUEST FOR REINFORCEMENTS IN 5 AREAS
According to a report by Record in the Portuguese press, Jose Mourinho requested reinforcements for the right wing, left wing, midfield, left back, and forward positions from the management for the January transfer period. It has been learned that the experienced coach particularly highlighted the productivity issues in the attacking line and expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of alternatives.
UNABLE TO ACHIEVE VICTORY IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
Mourinho, who took charge of Benfica in the middle of the season, has managed the team in 12 matches. In these matches, the Portuguese coach achieved 6 victories, 3 draws, and 3 defeats, and he is particularly dissatisfied with the team's performance in the Champions League. While Benfica has not suffered a defeat in the league under Mourinho's management, they have failed to earn points in all 4 matches in the European arena.
IT WILL BE THE FIRST STEP OF A NEW ERA
It is stated that Jose Mourinho aims to fully establish his playing system at Benfica with these 5 transfers to be made during the mid-season. The management is reportedly responding positively to the coach's request, and work has begun to determine the transfer budget.
GOAL: A RESURGENCE IN EUROPE
While Benfica continues to compete for the championship in the Portuguese League under Jose Mourinho's leadership, they have set their goal to return to a competitive level in Europe. Mourinho's mid-season operation is considered the first serious step towards this goal.
