João Gobern on Bruno Lage’s future at Benfica | OneFootball

João Gobern believes that, so far, Bruno Lage has been doing a good job at the start of this season for Benfica. In this Glorious 1904 Exclusive, the journalist points out that, so far, all objectives have been achieved, including the Supercup win and qualification for the Champions League.

"Being the right coach always involves a degree of relativity. I'm not sure, and I don't think anyone can be, that Bruno Lage is the best possible coach for Benfica. There are some presidential candidates who have been talking, in my view prematurely, about the possibility of other names", began João Gobern.

Next, the journalist and sports commentator highlighted the fact that Bruno Lage - who may be on borrowed time at Benfica - has met all of the Club da Luz's objectives at the start of the season: "The truth is that, if we can define a purpose of objectives, so far Bruno Lage has not failed any. We won the Supercup, in my view deservedly, we achieved qualification for the Champions League group stage and in three Portuguese Championship games we have three victories. Regardless of some more lackluster performances, Bruno Lage has met the objectives".

Without forgetting the changes that occurred in the transfer window, João Gobern gave the advantage to Sporting in terms of squad integration: "It's understandable that, with the players who left and those who came in, the process is slower. When we compare ourselves especially with Sporting, they have a team almost identical to last year's, they have the same coach, they have routines that even come from this coach's performance".

Finally, João Gobern also gave credit to Porto's performances in the Portugal League, adding that, so far, Bruno Lage is the right coach for the eagles: "Perhaps the big surprise in this League will be the speed with which Porto began to stand out and play good football, but until proven otherwise I am convinced that this second cycle will already show greater consistency and dynamics in Benfica's game. At this moment, Bruno Lage is the right coach for Benfica".
