The Portuguese coach José Mourinho added a bit of humor to the atmosphere of the press conference ahead of the anticipated derby between Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, after engaging in a light-hearted exchange with one of the journalists.

The coach known as "The Special One" did not miss the opportunity to showcase his sarcastic wit amidst the tension surrounding his future with the team.

During the conference, Mourinho was directly asked if he could guarantee his continuation with Benfica next season.

This reply opened the door to an unexpected humorous situation in the room.

The journalist replied with a smile: "I can, because nobody wants me," in a sarcastic reference to the significant interest Mourinho receives from major clubs in England and Spain, which elicited laughter from those present and eased the tense atmosphere before the big match.
