Jose Mourinho is Benfica s nightmare! Interesting statistic

Fenerbahçe eliminated Feyenoord in the Champions League 3rd qualifying round. In the Play-Off, our representative was paired with Benfica, who are considered the strongest team by the authorities.

The Portuguese team is ranked 11th in the club rankings announced by UEFA in August. Although the Red-Whites look dangerous from every angle, they too have a nightmare: Jose Mourinho. Fenerbahçe's world-famous coach started his coaching career at Benfica, but it was short-lived (September 20-December 5, 2000).

DEFEATED 6 TIMES

The experienced coach took charge of Leiria on July 1, 2001 and since then has been a thorn in the side of his former team Benfica. The Red and Whites have played 9 times against teams coached by Mourinho. Benfica only managed a 3-2 win in the 2003-04 season when he was in charge of Porto. The world-famous coach won 6 times and drew 2 times against one of the biggest teams of his country.
