Bruno Lage was approached by Al Sadd to become the head coach of the Qatari team. The former Benfica coach was dismissed by Rui Costa following the defeat to Qarabag in the Champions League, but he is already considering offers for his next adventure.
The information was reported by the newspaper A Bola. Al Sadd made an approach to Bruno Lage last Tuesday, September 30, and the Portuguese coach has already started talks with the Qatari club to understand the proposed conditions and the nature of the club’s sporting project.
At the moment, the financial terms offered by Al Sadd to convince Bruno Lage are not yet known. However, if the recent trend continues, the truth is that the former Benfica coach could be facing a millionaire offer, in line with what is paid by Middle Eastern clubs, especially to established European figures.
Al Sadd’s openness to finding a new coaching staff is due to the fact that the Qatari club did not win any matches during the month of September. For this reason, the Qatari management wishes to terminate with the current coach, Félix Sánchez, and find a new man to lead the team which is currently in seventh place in the national championship.
Bruno Lage, in turn, continues to look for his next adventure after leaving Benfica. The former Eagles coach wants to return to action quickly, and has even received some approaches to that effect from Egypt and Russia, but none have convinced the Portuguese manager so far.
