Mourinho’s abilities are declining; he immediately clashed with the referee upon returning to the Primeira Liga, and dropping points at home against a weaker team is truly disappointing.

In recent years, Mourinho’s coaching platforms have worsened, and so have his results, often ending with him being dismissed. This season, after being sacked by the Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahçe, he became Benfica’s head coach. However, the good times didn’t last long—dropping points at home against a weaker opponent in his Primeira Liga debut seriously harms the team’s title hopes, and Mourinho also got into a dispute with the league referees.

According to the latest report from Portuguese media outlet “A Bola,” the Portuguese Professional Football Referees Association has formally lodged a complaint with the Portuguese Football Federation’s Disciplinary Committee against Benfica’s Mourinho. The complaint stems from Mourinho’s sharp criticism of the referee team after Benfica’s 1-1 draw with Rio Ave:A goal was disallowed for a toe stepping on another toe, VAR dominated the match, and the main referee lacked personality..

This sparked heated debate among fans, with many saying this familiar pattern has come too soon! They once genuinely liked Mourinho, but now feel he causes too much trouble, focusing less on tactics and more on conflicts.

From my personal perspective, Mourinho complains about referees no matter which league he coaches in. Perhaps he really should reflect on himself—is his own professional ability declining?
