Jose Mourinho’s return to Stamford Bridge with Benfica next week could have been even more dramatic—if not for Chelsea’s cold shoulder. According to reports, Mourinho had planned to attend Chelsea matches as a spectator before taking the Benfica job, but the club made it clear: no red carpet welcome.
Despite his legacy—three Premier League titles across two spells—Mourinho remains a divisive figure. His previous returns with Manchester United and Spurs were met with chants of “Judas” from younger fans. Mourinho famously responded by holding up three fingers, reminding them of his trophy haul.
Now back in the Champions League with Benfica, Mourinho’s visit will be strictly business. No tributes, no fanfare—just football.
