There are more updates on the demands that Bruno Lage made to leave the technical command of Benfica. As found out this morning, September 18, in addition to the initial conditions, the Setubal native refused the inclusion of a confidentiality clause, so that he is not prevented from sharing details about his connection to the Club of Light.
According to the newspaper Record, in this Thursday's edition, the now former coach of Benfica, during the negotiations, presented a set of several demands to leave the Club of Light and, in light of new updates, it is known that Bruno Lage is not prevented from telling what happened in this last year.
The fact that the 49-year-old helmsman, who was fired following the defeat against Qarabag, has refused the implementation of a confidentiality clause, will not prevent him from revealing details that, to date, were not known by the national press or by Benfica's members and fans.
However, according to facts that were found by the national press, the departure of the Setubal native from Benfica is anything but peaceful. Yesterday, the NOW Channel reported that Bruno Lage left the Club of Light with strong suspicions that Mário Branco, General Director of the eagles, had already advanced in talks with José Mourinho.
A possibility that gained even more strength after Benfica, during today, confirmed to the Securities Market Commission (CMVM), that it is already in negotiations with José Mourinho, at a time when the Special One is already in Portugal, having arrived yesterday afternoon.
