Exclusive Glorious 1904 – Nélson Veríssimo out of options at Benfica | OneFootball

Nélson Veríssimo's tenure at Benfica may be at risk. In this Glorioso 1904 exclusive, our newspaper reveals that the coach of the B team of the Eagles may be fired if the Club da Luz continues to show the results it has been having in the current edition of the Liga Portugal Meu Super.

Our newspaper knows, from a close source, that the Benfica officials are losing patience with the sporting performance of the secondary team of the Reds. So far, with six rounds played, the team led by the Portuguese has not yet achieved any victory.

The draw against Torreense, in the last round, according to Glorioso 1904, may very well have been the last straw for the red and white structure, led by Rui Costa. Given this situation, our newspaper suggests that tomorrow's match, October 5, against Penafiel, may be crucial for the continuation of Nélson Veríssimo.

In contrast to the excellent participation that Benfica had in the last edition of the Liga Portugal Meu Super, where it finished in 4th position, the performance has left much to be desired. So far, the Eagles have 4 points, out of 18 possible points, registering four draws and two losses.

Nélson Veríssimo, 48, has been a coach of the Club da Luz's training ranks for many years, where he was assistant coach to Bruno Lagen when he moved from the B team to the main squad, in the 2018/19 season. The following year, he took over the command of the red team after Lage's departure. A feat he repeated in 2021/22, with the departure of Jorge Jesus.
