Di María has a dig at Bruno Lage after Benfica unveil new manager: Now... | OneFootball

Ángel Di María left a comment on Benfica's social media regarding the hiring of José Mourinho, where he seems to 'fire' in the direction of Bruno Lage. The former Benfica coach was fired by Rui Costa, after the Eagles' defeat to Qarabag in the Champions League.

The President of Benfica rushed to find the new Benfica coach, and the official announcement has already been made, on the afternoon of this Thursday, September 18. José Mourinho is the new Benfica helmsman, a decision that Ángel Di María seems to have appreciated.

The Argentine winger made a point of commenting on the post where Benfica officializes José Mourinho with the following phrase: "Now yes". These were the words chosen by Di María, in a message that seems to target Bruno Lage as well, suggesting that the former Benfica player believes that from this moment on, the Club can reach its potential this season.

Remember that Ángel Di María left Benfica at the end of last season, to head to Rosarío Central, the club where he trained in Argentina. Last season, he was coached by Bruno Lage, with whom he won the League Cup, but failed to achieve the national championship and Portugal Cup objectives.

After Di María's departure, Bruno Lage remained at the Club da Luz, starting the season with the conquest of the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, and with access to the main stage of the Champions League. However, the Portuguese coach did not withstand two negative results, with Santa Clara and Qarabag, and was fired, now being replaced by José Mourinho.
