Diogo Luís fears a disastrous season for Benfica in 2026/27 | OneFootball

Diogo Luís believes that Benfica are going through a period of major uncertainty that could jeopardize next season, especially due to the lack of a clear decision regarding the coach. In his analysis, the now pundit stresses that the Eagles’ problem goes far beyond the European schedule.

The former footballer - who also criticized last season - argues that, with only a few weeks to go before the start of the new campaign, the Club should have virtually its entire structure in place, something that is not currently the case: "With only a few weeks to go before the start of the new season, there is still no clear decision on the team’s technical leadership," he writes in the newspaper 'A Bola'.

Along the same lines, he criticizes the image Benfica are projecting at the moment, which, in his view, reveals a lack of control: "At a club the size of Benfica, planning for the following season should be practically complete at this stage of the year".

Diogo Luís warns of the impact this situation could have on the team’s preparations for the new season, especially in a context in which the Club is already facing additional demands in the schedule: "The impression given to the outside world is that of a structure waiting for events over which it has no control".
