Benfica manager Jose Mourinho has issued a stark warning to Gianluca Prestianni, stating the player will have no future at the club if found guilty of racially abusing Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior. The Argentinian midfielder is currently under investigation by UEFA following allegations made by Vinicius during last month’s Champions League play-off in Lisbon.
Prestianni, who denies the claims, was handed a provisional one-match ban, causing him to miss the second leg of the tie last week, as UEFA launched its formal inquiry. The 20-year-old faces severe repercussions should the allegations be proven true.
