Benfica title-winner extends contract until 2027: "What’s this?" (Video) | OneFootball

It's official: César Peixoto has renewed his contract with Gil Vicente until 2027. In a social media post this Thursday, November 6, the Minho club shared a very original video, announcing the extension of the contract with the former Clube da Luz player.

“The members left this little box here with the material for you to sign,” says one of the Gil Vicente officials. At the end of the video, César Peixoto finds a paper where it reads ‘contract renewal until 2027’, showing himself, jokingly, quite surprised.

César Peixoto's Gil Vicente has been the great sensation of the Liga Portugal Betclic. Beyond their position in the standings, the style of play implemented by the former Benfica player is leaving everyone amazed. The less positive aspect was the elimination from the Portuguese Cup.

With 10 rounds played, Gil Vicente, led by César Peixoto, has 22 points (seven wins, one draw, and two losses) and occupies fourth place, just two points behind Benfica (24). The only defeats occurred precisely against the Eagles (2-1, at Luz) and Porto (2-0, in Barcelos).

As a player for Benfica, César Peixoto played 65 matches, scoring one goal and providing six assists. With the Sacred Mantle, the now Gil Vicente coach won a National Championship (2009/10) and two League Cups (2009/10 and 2010/11).
