Ex-Benfica boss sacked by Rui Costa could land £7m a year deal | OneFootball

Bruno Lage may be heading to Al Ahly. After reaching an agreement to terminate his contract with Benfica, the coach has become a target for the Egyptian club, which is offering him a multimillion-euro salary. For now, the Portuguese manager’s agents have not yet given any response to the historic African club.

“The coach is being pressured by Al Ahly. The Egyptian club is offering Bruno Lage a contract valid for one season with an option for another, in exchange for around 3.5 million euros per year, net. The coach is considering the offer and is expected to give the club an answer soon,” writes the newspaper O Jogo.

Last Monday, Bruno Lage and Benfica reached an agreement to terminate his contract. Apparently, the coach will receive his salary for the month of September, while his coaching staff will be entitled to their salaries until the end of their contracts. The Eagles have reportedly managed to include a confidentiality clause.

"Behind me is the stadium of a great Club and what I have to say is thank you, for everything. As for what I discussed with the president, everything is settled," said Bruno Lage, in statements to journalists as he was leaving Estádio da Luz, where he had been meeting with Rui Costa for several hours.

During his time at Benfica, Bruno Lage managed 142 matches, winning 96, drawing 22, and losing 24. While at the Club of Light, the 49-year-old coach won four trophies with the Reds: one National Championship, two Cândido de Oliveira Super Cups, and one League Cup.
