After Benfica exit, Bruno Lage spotted... in England | OneFootball

Bruno Lage has not taken charge of any team since leaving Benfica in September 2025. Since then, the Setúbal native — whose record continues to mirror José Mourinho’s — has kept a quiet life away from the spotlight, until recent days, when he was spotted in the stands of a stadium in England.

According to Record newspaper, Bruno Lage was in the stands at Sheffield Wednesday’s stadium last Friday, May 8, where he watched the latest match involving his former club, where the Setúbal native worked as an assistant coach. However, the former Benfica manager was not alone and was accompanied by Carlos Carvalhal, the former head coach of the English side.

The two coaches, currently without a club, attended a charity match featuring some of their former players, as well as Liam Palmer, Sheffield Wednesday’s current captain. The match itself ended in a very one-sided result, with the Owls winning 24-3.

However, the most important thing turned out to be the financial contribution, as stated in the message the club released during the charity match: "A group made up of generous fans and aspiring footballers brave enough to try their luck".

Carlos Carvalhal, who has also had spells at Braga, is currently a regular presence on Sport TV’s punditry team. Bruno Lage, on the other hand, has remained away from football, dedicating himself to his personal and family life. However, the Setúbal native was linked with clubs in the Middle East.
