Mourinho's team is in trouble.

In the early hours of January 25th, approximately 200 Benfica fans appeared at the team's training ground, blocking the entrance to express their dissatisfaction.

Mourinho's hopes of winning the championship with Benfica are fading.

According to A Bola , the reason stems from the team's recent poor run of results, which has left fans extremely disappointed. They are demanding a direct dialogue with the management to clarify the situation and find solutions for improvement.

After a tense period between the two sides, the club agreed to allow four representatives, chosen by the fan group, inside to discuss the situation with the club president, Rui Costa. The meeting aimed to have a frank discussion about the current situation, as Benfica was struggling in all competitions.

On January 22nd, Benfica lost 0-2 to Juventus, putting them at serious risk of being eliminated in the Champions League qualifying round. The defeat against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium puts Benfica in an extremely disadvantageous position in the race to advance in the UEFA Champions League.

Benfica is going through a difficult period.

After 7 matches in the Champions League qualifying round, Benfica only have 6 points, 2 points behind a play-off spot. In the final match, Mourinho's team must beat Real Madrid and hope that the team above them slips up to have a chance to advance.

A week earlier, Benfica had been eliminated from both the Portuguese League Cup and the Portuguese Cup. Mourinho was going through a difficult time, with Benfica having just been knocked out of both domestic cups, their chances of progressing in the Champions League looking bleak, and trailing league leaders Porto by 10 points in the Primeira Liga by 10 points.

The possibility of Benfica activating Mourinho's early termination clause is growing. Mourinho's contract includes a clause allowing both parties to cancel it after the 2025/26 season, within just 10 days of the final match.
