Tiago Gouveia on Benfica loan spell: “A bit unexpected” | OneFootball

Tiago Gouveia already knows that he will return to Benfica at the start of next season; however, his future remains uncertain. In recent days, the Eagles winger gave an interview in which he addressed several topics, including Roger Schmidt, and spoke about the season he has been having at Nice.

"It has been a somewhat unexpected season. Nice were a team that everyone thought would be fighting for the top spots in the table, but the opposite happened: we are fighting to stay up," the 24-year-old winger began, in comments to Record, giving the first details about his spell in France.

"The team have already improved a little; we are in a better moment and more confident. I believe that objective — not the one set at the start, but the one we defined midway through the season — is closer to being achieved," Tiago Gouveia pointed out, stating that in recent months the team from southern France has been giving a more consistent response.

"On top of that, we are in the French Cup final [to be played on 22 May], which makes us very happy. It clearly becomes a major objective," Tiago Gouveia acknowledged, in comments to Record, admitting that the French side still has the chance to win a title in 2025/26.

So far this season, playing for Nice, Tiago Gouveia — valued at €4 million — has already made 24 official appearances: 15 in Ligue 1, seven in the Europa League and two in the French Cup. .
