Jose Mourinho Reveals Why He Stopped Watching Chelsea, Benfica Games
Former manager of Chelsea, Jose Mourinho has revealed that he has stopped watching the club’s games at Stamford Bridge and also the games of Benfica.
Jose Mourinho started his managerial career at Benfica in 2000 but didn’t stay there for too long before he moved to other clubs and then landed at Chelsea in 2004.
While at the Premier League club, he introduced the Stamford Bridge club to a series of successes and made them a household name in European football even though he didn’t win any continental competitions with them.
Mourinho first left Chelsea in 2007 and returned to the club in 2013. Unfortunately, his second spell which ended in 2015 was not as resounding as his first spell.
Despite that, most fans of the club believe the 61-year-old Portuguese tactician can fix the team which has been a shadow of its former self since last season.
At some point this season, the fans often chant his name during games especially when the team is losing a match at Stamford Bridge to influence the club’s owners to re-appoint him.
Mourinho said the chanting has discouraged him from attending football games at Stamford Bridge.
“In London, I live two minutes from Chelsea’s stadium, from my house you can hear the goals and people’s demonstrations”, Jose Mourinho told the Portuguese publication, A Bola.
“The day the stadium started singing my name, I stopped going to football. I have to go to other stadiums.
“It takes 20-30 minutes from my [other] house to [Benfica’s stadium] Luz. I went to two or three games.
“They started asking questions like [will you become manager] and I’m not going anymore. They screwed my life up with those questions.”
Super Eagles and Chippa United goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, has been dealt a devastating blow, losing his mother barely two months after the passing of his father.
Nwabali shared the heartbreaking news on X on New Year’s day, writing, “Rip mom, worst year of my life already” accompanied by tears and heartbreak emojis.
This emotional post came just hours after he shared a 2024 recap video, expressing optimism for the new year.
“2024 was a good year, we’re doubling everything in 2025. Thank you Chippa United FC. Thank you Super Eagles. Thanks to all my fans. Let’s do more!” he had written earlier.
Nwabali’s father died in November, just hours after the goalkeeper helped the Super Eagles secure a crucial point in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Benin Republic.
The goalkeeper’s bravery on the field was evident as he manned the goalpost despite his personal loss.
His teammates, fans, and well-wishers rallied around him, offering condolences and support.
With the loss of both parents, Nwabali joins the likes of Victor Osimhen, who has also experienced the pain of losing both parents.
Real Madrid forward, Kylian Mbappé, shared a rare glimpse of his personal life during an interview with Mouloud Achour on Clique.
The 25-year-old addressed serious allegations about an alleged rape incident in Stockholm but captured attention with his reflections on love and relationships.
When asked about expressing love, the Les Bleus forward shared: “Yes, to my mother, my father, my little brother. I try to give them this affection every day.”
On romantic love, Mbappé revealed to Le Parisien: “Yes, in the past, I have already been in love and I hope that I will be again. But currently, no.”
