José Mourinho doesn’t mind that he was fired at Fenerbahçe three weeks ago. The Portuguese was not in place and returned to Benfica on Thursday, the club where he started his beautiful trainer career.

“But I don’t regret it. Regret does not help in life. I gave everything until the last day. Of course I had to mourn my resignation, but as a Benfica coach I return to my level. And my level is coaching one of the largest clubs in the world.”

Benfica was too strong for Fenerbahçe in play-offs, after which Mourinho was fired. On Wednesday, Bruno Lage had to clear the field at Benfica after a surprising home defeat against Qarabag (2-3) on the first day in the Champions League.
