Board and SAD debate Benfica’s future after Rio Ave draw | OneFootball

Benfica gathered in Seixal last Wednesday, in the aftermath of the late draw against Rio Ave. The meeting brought together the entire Benfica SAD at the training center of the reds, with notable presence of Rui Costa and the rest of the club's management.

The topic of the meeting was, as expected, the poor results achieved by Benfica, which in the last three matches played at Luz drew two and lost another. However, despite the poor performance of the squad, the atmosphere in Seixal was one of tranquility.

Even though the meeting took place after the poor result, it is known that it had already been scheduled before the setback, so the draw against Rio Ave was not the main reason for the management and Benfica SAD to gather at the Benfica Training and Formation Center.

The club's management, accompanied by Rui Costa, discussed the current sports situation of Benfica, while José Mourinho conducted another training session with the squad, focusing on the physical recovery of the players after the slip-up with Rio Ave and preparation for the next clash against Gil Vicente.

José Mourinho chose not to give any player a day off, placing full focus on the reception of Gil Vicente scheduled for the 26th, counting for the seventh round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. Since his arrival, the 'Special One' has not authorized any rest day for his squad.
