Ivanovic on Mourinho: good game today, out tomorrow

Dia de Jogo — jornal desportivo1 September 2026 at 14:37

A 22-year-old forward from Serbia spoke to the Croatian press about his time at Benfica and publicly criticized José Mourinho. According to the headline, Ivanovic pointed out that the coach operates on a "good game today, out tomorrow" basis, suggesting a lack of consistency in his selections.

The player, who would have recently turned 22, revealed he had spoken with Croatian media outlets about his experience at the club from Lisbon. His main complaint was directed at the inconsistency in Mourinho's decisions regarding player selections.

Ivanovic expressed frustration with the way he was used by the coach, feeling he did not have regular opportunities to prove his worth. His departure from Benfica was marked by this dissatisfaction with Mourinho's management.

The news headline summarizes the player's perspective on Mourinho's approach, where a good performance in one game did not guarantee continuity in the starting eleven the following day. This instability in selections was reportedly the main source of discomfort during the forward's time at the Lisbon club.
