Jorge Jesus sacked!

Surprise invaded Benfica's fans in the morning as they knew that Jorge Jesus won't be their club's manager anymore. Jesus arrived in 2009/2010 winning the league and the league cup in that season but in 2010/2011 he couldn't keep that success letting FC Porto winning the title in his own stadium.
Luís Filipe Vieira announced in the website that Jesus won't be Benfica's manager anymore and that they are searching for a new manager.
​

Record presented a new name:​

Nuno Miguel Guerreiro.
Who is this man?
​

Nuno Miguel Guerreiro, 34, is a young manager with great future as he is really ambicious. He was the assistant manager of José Mourinho and Marcelo Bielsa in Real Madrid and Athletic respectively.
He wants now a new challenge but not as assistant but as manager and what better challenge then his favorite club.

1 day later


Nuno Miguel Guerreiro is the new Benfica's manager.



​

Nuno Miguel Guerreiro, 34, signed a 2 year contract with SL Benfica, earning 7,500€ p/w. In the first press-conference he admitted that he privileges ofensive football rather than defensive. His great goal is the Liga Zon Sagres and of course giving confidence to Benfica's fans bringing some stability being necessary to destroy FC Porto's supremacy in Portugal.
Some fans are a bit afraid of the decision as they don't know anything about this new manager but others really appreciate the decision to bring some new spirit to the club.
