A “breaking news” style post has been spreading online claiming that José Mourinho has been sacked indefinitely as head coach of S.L. Benfica, with suggestions that club president Rui Costa is returning in a coaching-related role.
The story has gained attention because it uses well-known football names and dramatic language, but there is no credible evidence behind it.
The rumor suggests Mourinho was removed from his position due to internal changes at Benfica and implies a sudden restructuring within the club’s leadership. It also claims Rui Costa is stepping back into a technical or coaching role, which has added to the confusion among fans online.
In reality, none of these claims are supported by official announcements or reliable sports sources. José Mourinho is not currently managing Benfica, and there has been no verified report of him being dismissed by the club. Similarly, Rui Costa remains focused on his role as Benfica’s president rather than returning to coaching duties.
Benfica has made no statement confirming any coaching dismissal or internal crisis. Any real change in head coach or senior leadership would be formally announced by the club and widely covered by established sports media outlets.
