The possibility of "Benfica" head coach Jose Mourinho working in Madrid again has dropped to zero. The racism incident that occurred in the first leg of the Champions League play-off stage between the Portuguese club and "Real" seriously damaged the image of the experienced specialist.
İdman.Biz reports with reference to "AS" that Mourinho's behavior after the match caused sharp protests from both the fans and the management of the "royal club". Vinicius Junior, who celebrated the goal he scored in the 50th minute of the match by dancing, received a yellow card for allegedly provoking Portuguese fans. In the second half, the game was stopped for a while after Vinicius accused Benfica striker Gianluca Prestianni of racism.
In his post-match statements, Mourinho, who placed full responsibility for the incident on Vinicius, was harshly criticized by the Spanish press. After this incident, the candidacy of the Portuguese specialist was completely removed from the agenda at the Madrid club.
