Exclusive Glorious 1904 - Benfica may drop Bruno Lage’s top candidate | OneFootball

The performance that has been lacking from Benfica could very well mark the end of the line for a familiar name, Bruno Lage. In this exclusive Glorioos 1904, our newspaper reports that the Club da Luz is not satisfied and is therefore considering letting go of Nélson Veríssimo, coach of the secondary squad of the eagles.

Our newspaper knows, from a close source, that the Benfica officials are losing patience with the sporting performance of the secondary team of the encarnados. So far, with six rounds played, the team led by the Portuguese has not achieved any victory.

The draw against Torreense, in the last round, according to Glorioso 1904, may have been the last straw for the red and white structure, led by Rui Costa. Given this situation, our newspaper suggests that tomorrow's match, October 5, against Penafiel, could be crucial for the continuation of Nélson Veríssimo.

In contrast to the excellent participation that Benfica had in the last edition of Liga Portugal Meu Super, where it finished in 4th position, the performance has been very disappointing. So far, the eagles have 4 points, out of a possible 18, registering four draws and two losses.

Nélson Veríssimo, 48, has been a coach of the youth ranks of Clube da Luz for many years, where he was assistant coach to Bruno Lagen when he moved from the B team to the main squad in the 2018/19 season. The following year, he took over the encarnado team after Lage's departure. A feat he repeated in 2021/22, with the departure of Jorge Jesus.
