Sacked by Manchester United last December 18, almost 56-year old Portuguese trainer José Mourinho, according to Record, has just turned down Benfica proposal to join back in. Before getting under the spotlight in 2004, by winning Champions League as Porto manager, Mourinho used to train Águias in 2000, as his first first-team head coach job. He had left the club after only 9 games: not because poor outcomes, but, au contraire, because he thought the team's ongoing awesome performances demanded a salary raise for him, which the club weren't ready to grant him on spot.
