CMVM Forces Benfica to Respond After Mourinho Video

The Portuguese securities regulator CMVM has forced Sport Lisboa e Benfica to issue a statement on the Mourinho issue. The regulator acted after a video of Florentino Pérez presenting a coach for Real Madrid was released.

The video shows Pérez introducing the new Real Madrid manager to the media. Its appearance prompted the CMVM to intervene in the Portuguese club’s silence.

Benfica had not publicly addressed the Mourinho topic prior to the regulator’s action. CMVM’s decision reflects its willingness to enforce transparency in club communications.

Benfica is now required to clarify its stance on the Mourinho matter. The club’s response will be scrutinized by both the regulator and the public.

Real Madrid’s involvement is limited to the Pérez video, which did not contain statements from the Portuguese side. The regulator’s focus remains on Benfica’s handling of the issue.

CMVM indicated it will monitor Benfica’s forthcoming statement for compliance. Further regulatory steps may follow if the club’s reply is deemed insufficient.
