Former Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho, is set to return to the Champions League as talks are in advance stage for him to join Benfica.
Benfica sacked their manager Bruno Lage on Tuesday night following their Champions League defeat to Qarabag.
The Portuguese team took an early 2-0 lead in the game but allowed their visitors to fight back and won the game.
The manager was sacked just hours after the surprise 3-2 home defeat.
Lage, in his one year as Benfica boss, guided them to the Portuguese League Cup and a second-place finish last season.
Benfica’s president, Rui Costa told the press early Wednesday morning that it was necessary to change the head coach. According to the report, the former Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Inter Milan, Roma, and Tottenham boss, 62, will be appointed before Benfica’s next league game against AVS on Saturday
