BENFICA coach Jose Mourinho insisted he is capable of saying “no” to Real Madrid president Florentino Perez as he played down rumours of a return to the Spanish giants yesterday.

JOSE Mourinho is focused on Benfica as he prepares to face his former club, Real Madrid, in tonight's huge UEFA Champions League play-off.
(AFP)
Mourinho’s Benfica host Real Madrid in a Uefa Champions League playoff round clash tonight, before the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu next week.
The 63-year-old Portuguese coach, who led Madrid between 2010 and 2013, has a clause in his contract with Benfica which would allow him to depart the club, fuelling rumours that Perez may turn to him again next season.
Mourinho guided Benfica to a dramatic 4-2 victory over Alvaro Arbeloa’s Real Madrid in the league phase of the Champions League late last month.
