Regarding the sending off, the Porto bench person who was also sent off called me a traitor 50 times in the tunnel. I'd like him to explain: traitor to what? I was at Porto, I gave my soul to Porto. I went to Chelsea, Inter, Real Madrid, and Fenerbahce. I turned things around.

After the game, you have the leader of an organisation, José Mourinho, who basically attacks the character of Vinícius Jr., by bringing in the type of celebration to discredit what Vinicius is doing in this moment. For me, in terms of leadership, it is a huge mistake. It is something we should not accept. I am very clear on that.

Mourinho was at the centre of controversy last night in the Champions League after Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr reported racial abuse to the referee from Benfica player Gianluca Prestianni, claims that Prestianni denies. Mourinho, however, was unsympathetic to these very serious accusations, claiming, When you score a goal like that, you celebrate in a respectful way, and stating, this club, the last thing that it is, is racist, given that former striker, Eusebio, was black.

The atmosphere at the Estadio da Luz was electric as Mourinho faced the club he famously led between 2010 and 2013. However, the evening turned sour for the Portuguese manager late in the second half. Mourinho's fury was ignited when the referee refused to show a second yellow card to Vinicius Junior after the Brazilian appeared to foul Richard Rios.

Jose Mourinho is reportedly not among those being considered as Celtic's next head coach, while manager of the month in Portugal, Ian Cathro, plays down chances of him returning to coaching in Scotland. Celtic have no plans to make Benfica's Jose Mourinho their next permanent manager as they seek a long-term replacement for interim manager Martin O'Neill. (Football Insider), external Former

Barcelona's interest is easy to understand, as the right-back position at the club has lacked long-term stability for years. Despite multiple investments and short-term fixes, Barça have struggled to find a player who can fully establish himself in the role and offer sustained competition to Jules Kounde. The recent arrival of Joao Cancelo has helped ease the situation, but the club see that move as temporary rather than a lasting solution.

I didn't regret joining Chelsea because it was a great club, and I felt comfortable in that dressing room. John Terry was a great captain he gave us a calmness and reassured us we'd turn things around. But it was a contrast because I came from years of constant success, and at Chelsea I found myself in a situation where we struggled to get results.

According to a recent report from A Bola, Jose Mourinho has personally stepped in after learning of FC Barcelona's interest in Nicolas Otamendi. The Portuguese coach has urged Benfica to move quickly and secure the Argentine defender's future with a contract renewal. The report suggests that Mourinho and Benfica president Rui Costa are fully aligned on the issue. Both believe that Otamendi remains far too important to lose, especially to a direct European rival like Barcelona.
