Marco Silva Returns to Lisbon: Benfica Officially Agrees on Mourinho's Replacement
According to information conveyed by Fabrizio Romano, Benfica brought Marco Silva from Fulham to the coaching seat that was vacated after José Mourinho's return to Real Madrid. The 48-year-old Portuguese coach is returning to the Portuguese Liga after 11 years. Despite Fulham offering 8 million pounds annually to keep Silva, the player accepted Benfica's 4 million pound offer — not money, but the heart won the choice.
