Rui Costa: Mourinho s annual salary after tax is about 30 million euros, and the termination fee is less than half of the annual salary

September 26: Mourinho will serve as Benfica coach this month and sign a two-year contract. The contract stipulates that within 10 days after the end of the last official match of the 25/26 season, both parties have the right to choose not to continue the 26/27 season contract.

Benfica Chairman Rui Costa revealed the details of Mourinho's salary in an interview, saying: "He didn't even authorize me to disclose his salary. How much does the coaches in Porto or Portugal Sports make? Have you asked them? A coach of this level is worth a lot of money! He was free at the time, but he was still one of the best coaches in the world and one of the most successful coaches. I think it's wrong to reveal my coach on TV. It's a valuable contract, but it's not higher than Schmidt's contract."

"3 million euros after tax in the first year, 4 million euros in the second season? It's probably this number. This is the minimum salary Mourinho has received after leaving Portugal. His willingness to coach Benfica made me believe that he is the ideal coach at this moment."

"Murinho accurately grasped Benfica's current situation and even accepted a rare clause. If the contract is terminated early, the termination fee will be less than half of his annual salary. This is a great move for Benfica's current situation. Mourinho respects Benfica's current situation."
