Jose Mourinho arrived on Thursday, in a large style, at Seixal, on the day he was presented for the second time as a coach of Benfica, at the wheel of a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, a car with a strong symbolic load, which was said to have been offered by Roman Abramovich in 2008.
In February 2008, a few months after leaving Chelsea, Jose Mourinho received from the Russian businessman and the owner of the “blue” an unusual gift: a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Sessanta, an edition limited to only 60 units to celebrate 60 years of the prestigious Italian brand.
Evaluated at about 300,000 euros at that time, Abramovic's gesture surprised, especially as it took place a few months after the tumultuous departure of the Portuguese coach from Stamford Bridge.

With rear traction, six -speed f1a gearbox and aluminum body, combines extreme performance with long -distance comfort. The luxury details include the electro -romantic panoramic ceiling, the interior of natural leather with multiple customization options, the steering wheel with the aluminum pads, the Bose audio system and the automatic air conditioning.
In the sessantic version, limited and commemorative, exclusivity increases even more. The reports at that time claim that Mourinho had already expressed his desire to have this model, and Abramovich would have brought the copy to the coach. P
Ovestea got a new breath today, because Mourinho arrived at the stem at the wheel of this Ferrari on the day he was announced as a coach of Benfica. The images have circulated on social networks and reappeared the curiosity around a car that symbolizes not only the intense and contradictory relationship with Abramovich, but also the more exuberant side of the Portuguese technician.
Today, a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti can be found at prices between 110,000 and 285,000 euros, depending on the condition and mileage, but the sessanta version maintains its special status. More than a car, it is a piece of personal and sporty history, which accompanies Mourinho at another prominent moment of his career.
