Wanted by several, Vítor Vinha makes Benfica decision | OneFootball

Vítor Vinha has been one of the standout figures of Benfica's season. The coach of the club’s under-23 side and under-19 team in European competition has been doing an excellent job, something that has not gone unnoticed by the board. With that in mind, the coach is expected to renew his contract with the red-and-white club.

similar to what could happen with Nélson Veríssimo. Thus, as the source itself states, the Club from Luz secures the continuity of one of the most promising coaches in Benfica’s academy.

Vítor Vinha arrived at Benfica in the summer of 2024 from Rio Ave, with the aim of taking charge of the Eagles’ under-23 team, which had little prominence. In the 2024/25 season, the 39-year-old coach led that side to the category’s first trophy, with the Eagles lifting the Revelação Cup.

In the current season, which has already come to an end, Vítor Vinha once again did an outstanding job with the under-23 side, which competed in both the League and the Revelação Cup, but was unable to retain the trophy. In addition, he gained recognition by taking Glorioso’s junior team to the final four of the UEFA Youth League.

In addition to the sporting results, Vítor Vinha has played an important role in linking Benfica’s first team and academy ranks, much like Nélson Veríssimo at Benfica B, and has also stood out for his direct contact with José Mourinho, who led Benfica last season.
