Benfica have confirmed that Real Madrid have registered their firm interest in appointing Jose Mourinho as their new head coach. The Portuguese giants revealed that the approach is tied to the upcoming presidential elections at the Bernabeu.

Jose Mourinho has sensationally escalated his dispute with Turkish football authorities by filing a formal complaint with the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). The Portuguese tactician, who is widely expected to return to the Real Madrid dugout following the club's upcoming presidential elections, alleges that his fundamental rights were breached during a controversial stint at Fenerbahce.

Jose Mourinho has found himself at the centre of a major controversy after appearing in a video released by Florentino Perez's re-election campaign at Real Madrid. Benfica reacted angrily to the footage, but 'The Special One' reportedly insisted he never recorded it, claiming the images were generated using artificial intelligence.

Marco Silva is officially leaving Fulham this summer, paving the way for a sensational switch to Benfica. The Portuguese manager departs after five successful seasons to succeed Jose Mourinho. With the 'Special One' heading back to crisis-hit Real Madrid, Silva prepares to take over in Lisbon despite receiving a lucrative £8 million-a-year offer to remain at Craven Cottage.
