After leaving Benfica, Bruno Lage was spotted... in England | OneFootball

Bruno Lage has not taken charge of any team since his departure from Benfica in September 2025. Since then, the Setúbal native — whose record continues to resemble José Mourinho’s — has kept a quiet life away from the spotlight, until the last few 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, 8 May, where he watched the latest match involving his former club, where the Setúbal native served as assistant coach. However, the former Benfica manager was not alone and was accompanied by Carlos Carvalhal, the English side’s former head coach.

The two managers, 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 scoreline, with the Owls winning 24-3.

However, the most important thing was the money raised, as stated in the club’s announcement during the charity match: "A group made up of generous supporters 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 panel. Bruno Lage, on the other hand, has stayed away from football, dedicating himself to his personal and family life. However, the Setúbal native has been linked with clubs in the Middle East.
