Jose Mourinho says he is close to being appointed Benfica manager after arriving in Lisbon for talks with the Portuguese club.
Mourinho is set to replace Bruno Lage, who was sacked following Tuesday's Champions League home defeat against Qarabag.
The 62-year-old has only been out of work for less than a month after being dismissed by Fenerbahce.
"Benfica officially asked me if I was interested. What coach says no to Benfica? Not me," Mourinho told reporters after landing in Lisbon.
"When I was presented with the opportunity to coach Benfica, I didn't hesitate to say that I'm interested, that I'd like to."
