Glorioso 1904 exclusive - Benfica rule out move for Marco Silva option | OneFootball

César Peixoto is not seen as a valid option, as Glorioso 1904 has learned. In this exclusive, our newspaper reports that the Gil Vicente coach is not part of Benfica's plans, not even as an alternative if Marco Silva turns down the offer to coach the Club of Light next season.

Glorioso 1904 has learned from sources close to the process that the current Gil Vicente coach, who was once mentioned as one of José Mourinho’s successors, does not meet the requirements desired by Benfica’s hierarchy. Therefore, our newspaper can confirm that if Marco Silva does not move forward, the Club of Light will look for other options, which do not include César Peixoto.

As Glorioso 1904 was able to learn exclusively, César Peixoto has stood out this season by leading the Barcelos side to a very positive league campaign. However, our newspaper has found out that Benfica believes the Portuguese coach still does not have the experience to take on a challenge of this magnitude.

It is worth mentioning that César Peixoto’s name had been linked with Benfica in recent months, at a time when the departure of the Special One was not yet considered guaranteed. However, as our newspaper previously reported, the Gil Vicente manager was not indifferent to the rumors involving the Eagles.

At the moment, there is major uncertainty surrounding the Benfica coaching position. José Mourinho’s departure is on hold due to the elections at Real Madrid. Marco Silva is the Eagles’ preferred choice, but the Club of Light is only expected to move for the coach after resolving the Special One dossier. However, the Eagles are racing against time to prepare for the new season.
