Jose Mourinho has agreed a two-year deal to become Benfica's new head coach.
The 62-year-old was sacked last month by Fenerbahce after just over a year in charge but has secured a swift return to management at the club where he was briefly in charge between September and December 2000.
Mourinho, who has also enjoyed successful managerial spells in England, Spain and Italy, is set to take charge of his first training session on Thursday.
