Before Christmas, Jose Mourinho, who was fired from "Manchester United" club, had the opportunity to return to football this season, but he turned down such a chance.
The Portuguese newspaper "Record" reports that the 55-year-old coach was contacted by Lisbon's "Benfica", but he received a negative response from the Portuguese.
"Benfica" recently lost their head coach when Rui Vitoria was fired from his position due to poor results this season.
J. Mourinho started his professional career at "Benfica" team, when he was unexpectedly offered a job as a head coach from a coaching assistant position.
However, this rejected offer does not mean that J. Mourinho will be out of work for long - it is believed that he should return to club football as early as next summer.
