Servet Baglar could join Benfica’s academy on Mário Branco’s recommendation | OneFootball

According to Glorioso 1904, Servet Baglar could become the next addition to Benfica’s academy structure after leaving Fenerbahçe, and is expected to travel to Lisbon to discuss a possible role.

The 67-year-old left the Istanbul club on 30 June having worked alongside Mário Branco, now Benfica’s general director.

Baglar is noted for his knowledge of African football and the continent’s youth talent market, which could enhance Benfica’s scouting reach.

His experience within Fenerbahçe’s recruitment department may have helped attract interest from the Benfica hierarchy. His professional ties with Branco may also ease any move.

If talks lead to an agreement, Baglar would join immediately within the youth setup to focus on scouting and identifying young players, aligning with Benfica’s bid to strengthen international prospecting, particularly in Africa.
